Miscellaneous Benefits
The Arizona Federal
Credit Union conducts on-site enrollment for City of Mesa employees on a regular basis.
Watch for a
Citywide email announcing this event in the near future.
During open enrollment, a
representative from the Arizona Federal Credit Union will be present to help interested
employees open a savings account, apply for a loan, apply for a no-fee checking account with a
Visa check card or for a Visa credit card, sign up for direct deposit, open a certificate of
money market account, or simply to ask questions or pick up information.
To open an account, you will need the
following:
- Cash, check or money order for $30 ($5
membership
fee, waived with 3 or more services) and a $25 minimum balance
- Two forms of valid ID plus photo copies of
both sides of the ID (driver's license, state ID, social security card or
passport)
- Completed membership application (for faster
service or joint account); and
- Additional $10 if applying for a checking
account (for first check order)
If you are unable to visit
with the AFCU representative while they are on-site at the City, but are interested in
enrolling, you can visit one of several branch locations in the Valley that may be
convenient for you. Call them at (602) 683-1000 or visit their web site, www.azfcu.org to
obtain the site location closest to you.
All employee parking is free.
The City of Mesa has established a
program for the donation of accrued vacation leave to employees who, due to a
serious illness or injury to self or immediate family, have used all their
accrued sick and vacation leave and are placed in a position of extreme
financial hardship.
Employees who have depleted their
accrued sick and vacation leave as a result of their serious illness or injury
may request through their Department Manager access to the Donated Leave
Program using the following guidelines:
-
Employees who have used the
allowable thirty sick days and depleted accrued vacation leave as a result
of caring for an immediate family member with a serious illness or injury
may request through their Department Manager access to the Donated Leave Program. Immediate family means spouse, child, stepchild, parent,
stepparent or grandparent.
-
Employees who are approved for
the Donated Leave Program will then be allowed to receive
donations of vacation leave from fellow City employees in order that they
may receive income during their period of serious illness or injury.
-
The donor employee may only
donate vacation leave. At the time of donation, the full-time donor employee
must have at least 40 hours accrued vacation and the benefited part-time employee must
have at least 20 hours accrued vacation. A donor employee will have to
donate a minimum of four hours vacation to the Donated Leave Program.
-
The donor employee will use a Leave of Absence Request form to
designate the donation in the name of the employee to receive the donation.
-
All donated leave becomes the
permanent property of the receiving employee. All unused leave will be
retained by that employee and will not be returned or reimbursed to the
donor employee.
-
Hours of leave will be donated,
not the actual wage of the donor employee.
-
Donations will not be allowed
to be made to the employee's immediate supervisor.
- When the employee returns to
work, whether full-time or part-time, they are not eligible to receive
additional donations for that illness. Donations received after the
employee's return to work will be credited back to the donating employee's
vacation accrual.
If driving
to the bank or credit union and standing in line to deposit your paycheck is
loosing its appeal, direct deposit is for you! You can pick up direct
deposit enrollment forms in the
Payroll office or obtain them off of the City's Intranet. Your paycheck
can be deposited in up to six (6) different bank or credit union accounts (with
the exception of Arizona Federal Credit Union as their system can only accept
one direct deposit per account number).
