BPUB provides an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) on a voluntary, confidential basis. EAP is a counseling and referral service designed to help employees — and their immediate families — deal with various personal and professional problems.

Growth & Development

Tuition Assistance Program

Reimbursement of up to 100% for tuition, books, and fees for associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees, subject to the employee earning passing grades.

Professional Development

Reimbursement for the cost of approved training, books, exams, and fees for accredited certifications and licenses for full-time employees.

Retirement & Savings

Employees automatically become members of the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) and contribute a mandatory 8% of their gross income toward their retirement plan. For every $1.00 that the employee contributes, BPUB contributes $2.00. Employees are vested after five years of service. Membership in TMRS includes additional life insurance coverage for the employee.

BPUB offers a voluntary 457(b) deferred compensation plan option for its employees, providing an additional way to save for retirement with tax-deferred contributions.

Employees can save on taxes by setting aside pre-tax money from each paycheck into a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and/or a Dependent Care Savings Account (DCFSA). Employees may use the FSA to pay for medical expenses. The DCFSA may be used to cover expenses for caring for dependents.
