(A) Permanent, full-time employees or other benefit eligible employees of the Village of Indian Hill are eligible for health insurance coverage under the Village plan(s). Employees who have health care insurance through the employer of a spouse, may elect not to participate in the health insurance program offered by the Village of Indian Hill. Upon satisfactory proof of adequate coverage through the spouse's employer, the City Manager may authorize the payment of a $4,000 incentive to employees opting out of coverage. The election of this option may be made during the first week of the first month of the health insurance plan year. Payment of the incentive shall be made with the first pay period following the election of this option.
(B) In the event that an employee's spouse loses health care coverage, and the employee or spouse/family is accepted back into the Village of Indian Hill health care insurance program, the employee shall be responsible for reimbursing the Village of Indian Hill on a pro-rated basis for the previously paid incentive.
(C) This Health Care Insurance Option shall not be available to otherwise eligible employees when the spouse is also an employee of the Village of Indian Hill and the spouse's alternative health care insurance coverage is also provided by the Village of Indian Hill. The Health Care Insurance Option shall not be available to permanent, part-time employees who receive health care insurance as part of a retirement package from a previous employer.
