The median pay plus employer paid benefits for a San Jose - TopicsExpress



          

The median pay plus employer paid benefits for a San Jose firefighter was $205K in 2011, for police, $189K, and even this is not enough, given the financial challenges facing their pension fund. The average pension plus health benefits for former San Jose public safety (police or fire) employee who retired in the last ten years and worked at least 25 years was approximately $110,000 in 2012. No reasonable person questions the need to pay public safety personnel a premium for the work they do. But to preserve defined benefits, not to mention the financial survival of our cities and counties, we must make tough decisions now, to avoid having to “slash” later.
