Do Borough employees pay into their health benefits? If so, what percentage?
No. Currently, the State Pension/Health Benefits reform bills signed by the Governor do not require unionized employees (IE: CWA Local 1032) to contribute to their health insurance until the expiration of their current organized labor agreement, which is December 31, 2012. The State will be requiring that all non-union employees make contribution toward their health insurance in 2010. Guidance on how this change needs to be implemented has not been provided to municipalities by the State as of yet.
