Common use of Waiver of Insurance Clause in Contracts

The City will not pay cash in lieu if the City knows or has reason to know that the employee or an individual in the employee’s tax family does not have the required alternative coverage. Any employee in the unit who meets the requirements to opt out of medical coverage can receive one thousand and sixty dollars ($1,060.00) per month.
