The County will pay $25,520 per month for the 24 employees on the healthcare plan. The total monthly premiums will be $32,853.
Pawnee County pays 100 percent of a single employee's healthcare coverage. If the employee ads their children and family, the County pays 66 percent of the premium with the employee responsible for the remainder.
