Benefits
Employee benefits are a significant part of your total compensation. Washington County is committed to providing you and your eligible family members a competitive benefits package. This summary is intended to help benefits eligible employees and potential employees understand the options. This is only a summary and, as such, is not intended to override the plan contracts, County policies, personnel rules and regulations or bargaining agreements that govern these benefits. Eligibility and waiting period (first of the month after date of hire for most plans) requirements apply.
Health Benefits Plans
Washington County currently provides medical, dental and vision coverage for you and your eligible family members. Please refer to the plan summary for information regarding coverage levels and restrictions for each plan.
