When joining Team Hurst, we want you to enjoy the benefits offered to you and your family. We know you work hard delivering strong customer service to all who live, work, play, shop, and benefit from the services we provide. Brief summaries of benefits available to Team Hurst members are available below.

Available to full-time employees:

Health, Dental, Life, and LTC

Two health plan options are available to eligible city employees and their dependents with employees contributing a very reasonable amount based on rate of pay and level of coverage selected. The City of Hurst provides life, dental, long-term disability, and "core" long-term care insurance for eligible City employees at no cost for employee coverage.

Transparency in Coverage

This link leads to the machine-readable files that are made available in response to the federal Transparency in Coverage Rule and includes negotiated service rates and out-of-network allowed amounts between health plans and healthcare providers. The machine readable files are formatted to allow researchers, regulators, and application developers to more easily access and analyze data.

Longevity

Our three-pronged approach to help build a strong retirement:

TMRS

Beginning with the first paycheck of employment, each city of Hurst member of TMRS will deposit (by payroll deduction) into TMRS seven (7%) percent of his/her gross pay. In retirement the City will match the deposit in the system in an amount double to the amount deposited by the employee.

Social Security

City employees are covered by social security. Both the City and the employee make deposits.
