§ 5-1. Benefits and Leave

In addition to good working conditions and competitive pay, it is City of Alamogordo's policy to provide a combination of supplemental benefits to all eligible employees. These benefits include time-off benefits, such as paid time off and holidays, and insurance and other plan benefits.

The next few pages contain a brief outline of the benefit programs City of Alamogordo provides employees and their families. The information presented here is intended to serve only as guidelines and continuation of benefits are not guaranteed.

The descriptions of the insurance and other plan benefits merely highlight certain aspects of the applicable plans for general information only. The details of those plans are spelled out in the official plan documents, which are available for review upon request from the Human Resources Office or on line at www.mybenefitsnm.com . Additionally, the provisions of the plans, including eligibility and benefit provisions, are summarized in the summary plan descriptions ("SPDs") for the plans (which may be revised from time to time). In the determination of benefits and all other matters under each plan, the terms of the official plan documents shall govern over the language of any description of the plans, including the SPDs and this manual.

Further, City of Alamogordo (including the officers and administrators who are responsible for administering the plans) retains full discretionary authority to interpret the terms of the plans, as well as full discretionary authority with regard to administrative matters arising in connection with the plans and all issues concerning benefit terms, eligibility and entitlement.

While the City intends to maintain these employee benefits, it reserves the absolute right to modify, amend or terminate these benefits at any time and for any reason.

If employees have any questions regarding benefits, they should contact the Human Resources Office.
