MASON CITY – It doesn’t meet the city’s unwritten standard as amazing, but a pretty good part-time job driving a city transit bus is now open with the City of Mason City.

To unofficially qualify as amazing, a job must pay at least $9.50 per hour, or so third ward city council Jean Marinos member has so decreed. This job falls short, paying just $8.50 per hour, but it does have a perk hat many part-time jobs do not offer: IPERS benefits.

IPERS is a core retirement plan that allows public employees to retire knowing that their benefits are secure. IPERS is a public agency and was established for the purpose of providing a retirement plan to public employees throughout Iowa.  IPERS benefits are designed to supplement personal savings and Social Security benefits in retirement. Benefits also offer financial protection for families in the event of death or disability.

As a part-time City Transit Driver, IPERS is part of the package along with the starting wage of $8.50. There are two shifts available: 6:15 AM – 12:00 PM or 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM, or on a substitute basis. The applicant must have a good driving record as well as a Class C CDL with passenger endorsement. The city will assist the chosen applicant in obtaining the appropriate endorsement. The position is subject to drug testing.

The Mason City Public Transit is open to the general public, including those with disabilities.

Application can be picked up and turned in at City Hall, 10 First Street NW. Deadline for filing applications is 4:30 PM, February 3, 2014.
