Employee Benefits

Our compensation program is designed to attract, reward, and retain top talent by offering salaries that align with the external market. The plan ensures that pay remains fair, transparent, and market driven. This approach helps employees feel valued while supporting the long-term success of CFPUA.

CFPUA is proud to be part of the NC Retirement System for local governments. This is a defined benefit program, meaning benefits are guaranteed based on the length of credible service and annual salary.

401k and 457b retirement plans are available to our employees and are managed by Empower. CFPUA will automatically contribute 2% into a 401k and also offers an additional 2% match program.

We offer a choice of 2 medical plans with varying options for health and prescription services through the NC State Health Plan.

We offer vision insurance which includes eye exams, eye wear and contact lenses. Employees can select from a $130 or $200 eye wear allowance plan.

We offer dental insurance to help cover the cost of preventative, basic, and major dental work.

Flexible spending accounts are available for health and dependent day care. These accounts offer you a tax-free way to pay for qualified expenses not covered by insurance.

We offer PTO for vacation, sickness or family emergencies so you can take care of what matters. Vacation leave is accrued based on years of service. Full-time employees accrue up to 96 hours of sick leave annually. CFPUA employees receive 12 paid holidays as well as 8 hours of Floating Holiday time per year.

CFPUA provides full-time employees who have been with our organization for the immediate 12 preceding months with 6 consecutive weeks of paid parental leave for the birth of a child or the adoption or other legal placement of a child under the age of 18.
