Paid Time Off
At the City of Moline, we know that recharging away from work is just as important as the work you do every day.

Paid time off includes vacation, sick leave, holidays, and personal days.
Paid Parental Leave
The City of Moline recognizes the importance of family and offers up to three (3) weeks of fully paid parental leave following the birth of a child or the placement of a child through adoption or foster care.

Deferred Compensation (457) & Voluntary Retirement Savings
The City of Moline offers voluntary retirement savings programs to help employees build additional financial security beyond their pension benefits.

Contributions may be made on either a pre-tax basis (taxed when withdrawn) or a Roth after-tax basis (withdrawn tax-free in retirement if qualified).

Employees participating in the IMRF pension system may also elect to make Voluntary Additional Contributions (VAC) of up to 10% of earnings on an after-tax basis.
