Benefits

Counties provide a wide range of individual and family health insurance plans designed to fit your needs. From low-cost premiums and copays for medical, dental, vision and hearing care to cost-saving programs for prescription medications, county health insurance plans are some of the most sought after in the state.

County employees have access to one of the nation’s most attractive and lucrative retirement programs. After just 25 years of service, employees qualify for a lifelong, consistent retirement benefit that is not subject to changes in the financial market, so there's no watching the stock market and worrying about your later years. County employees enjoy a world-class retirement payment that’s without equal in Alabama.

Are you worried about your student loan debt? County employees qualify for the Federal Student Loan Forgiveness Program, which means working in county government may relieve your debt worries while providing you countless opportunities for growth and workplace fulfillment.

All counties provide employees a competitive offering of paid time off vacation and sick leave. But perhaps most significant in county government's paid time off package is the observation of more than a dozen federal and state holidays, a benefit largely unmatched by the private sector.

Don’t just come to work; be a part of something bigger. County government is the heartbeat of community pride and accomplishment – contributing to economic growth, improving public safety, emphasizing community engagement and enhancing the quality of life for every Alabamian.
