A monetary benefit payable to a qualified employee, in lieu of a qualified employee of the Town participating in the comprehensive health insurance plan sponsored by the Town, the "health insurance plan," is hereby established.
A "qualified employee" means a full time employee, employed by the Town, and eligible to participate in the health insurance plan.
The monetary benefit shall be based upon payment of the sum of $55 per month (the "base amount") as herein provided.

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I).
The monetary benefit shall be a sum of money equal to the base amount times the number of months the qualified employee:
A. 
Is a qualified employee of the Town;
B. 
Elects not to participate in the health insurance plan; and
C. 
Is not enrolled in the health insurance plan.
The base amount shall be prorated for the number of work days in the month the qualified employee is eligible to receive the monetary benefit, in the instance when the qualified employee is not eligible for the entire month. The prorated base amount shall be paid to the qualified employee at the same time the monetary benefit is paid as herein provided.
A qualified employee electing not to participate in the health insurance plan maintained by the Town must do so in writing delivered to the Comptroller of the Town in accordance with the personnel policies of the Town, by the date determined by the insurance carrier providing coverage under the health insurance plan. The election shall become effective on the first day of May or November next following the timely making and delivery of the requisite election to the Comptroller, or such other date or dates as the insurance carrier may from time to time determine.
The payment of the monetary benefit shall be made by December 15 of each year and shall be included in the employee's regular payroll check, unless the qualified employee terminates his/her employment prior to that date, in which event the monetary benefit shall be included in the qualified employee's final payroll check.
