Our Benefits
Our wellness programme operates to enhance your financial security and wellbeing and to make you feel a valued member of staff. Supporting you to be healthy and well is an important aspect of encouraging work-life balance.
We are committed to ensuring you work in an environment that meets all health and safety requirements, and most importantly, gets you home safe each day. We are proud that we have ACC Tertiary Status for our Workplace Safety Practices.
We want to provide an attractive place to work and believe that our benefits as outlined below demonstrate our commitment to achieving this.
Flu Vaccinations
We provide a fully subsidised seasonal influenza vaccination to help protect you from known true seasonal flu strains.
Eye Care
If you are required to use VDU equipment in the normal course of your job MDC will subsidise your prescribed glasses.
Workplace Support
We provide a service that is designed as a confidential forum for you to discuss personal or work-related problems with a person independent of Council who has been professionally trained to do so.
Health Insurance
If your health is compromised, we want you to have access to medical treatment quickly so you can get on with enjoying life. We cover permanent staff for Accuro Essential Care with a $2,000 excess. You can also join your family, buy out the $2,000 excess or increase your level of cover at your own cost.
Income Protection
Income Protection Insurance gives you peace of mind to know that the needs of your family will be met in the event of your sickness. As a permanent member of staff you will receive cover up to the age of 65 which meets 75% of your salary to a maximum of $96,000 gross per annum.
Life Insurance
Life Insurance provides peace of mind and cash when it is needed most. We cover our permanent staff up to the age of 65 for an adequate level of life cover.
Workplace Savings Plan
At MDC we believe that it's important for our employees to have plans in place for their financial wellbeing. As well as contributing 3% to your KiwiSaver, we also provide an additional 2% to those who choose to join our Council super, an AMP Master Trust Plan.
