CITY OF KENOSHA SUMMARY OF BENEFITS

For Part-Time School Crossing Guards

Crossing guards are classified as regular part-time employees and are covered under the Rules & Regulations of the City of Kenoshas Civil Service System. Some employees may be eligible for benefits based upon hours worked per year. Not all employees will be eligible for the benefits listed below.

Wages

The wage range for the school crossing guard classification is set by a compensation plan approved by the City of Kenosha. The wage rates for this position are divided into five (5) steps. Employees start at the first step (Step A), and receive a pay increase to the second step (Step B) after satisfactory completion of a one year probationary period. Subsequent step increases, if any, are awarded at one (1) year intervals (based on seniority date) until the maximum wage of the job classification is reached.

Direct Deposit

Payroll is made by direct deposit for all employees. Employees must designate a checking or savings account (of their choice) at the time of hire. Salaried employees are paid on the 15th and last day of each month. Hourly employees are paid weekly on Fridays for the hours worked in the previous work week (Sunday - Saturday).

Pension

Employees who meet Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF) eligibility requirements are enrolled in the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) and are required to contribute one-half of the yearly pension contribution percentage as determined by WRS. The City contributes the other half of the total required amount into the employees retirement account. The current contribution rate for non-represented (general) employees is 14.4%. The total contribution is calculated based on gross wages paid to the employee for each pay period.
