The Government of the Virgin Islands aspires to provide the highest level of comprehensive benefits, services, and programs to eligible employees, retirees, and their dependents which:

• Meet and anticipate their individual needs;
• Assure the GVI's competitiveness with other employers to attract and retain employees;
• Maximize cost effectiveness; and,
• Assure optimal health and productivity of employees.

To achieve this goal, from time to time, the carrier for the GVI's insurance may change. Please contact the Group Health Insurance Office of the Division of Personnel in St. Thomas and St. Croix at GroupHealthInsurance@dop.vi.gov for more information regarding carriers.

The Virgin Islands government offers to full-time employees and their eligible dependents, a group health and dental insurance plan. The GVI contributes toward the cost of Health Insurance for each employee enrolled under the Group Health Insurance Program. The GVI reserves the right to change the amount of the employee contribution when necessary for financial or other reasons.

The government provides a complementary basic non-contributory $10,000 basic life insurance benefit. In order for the benefit to be effective, an enrollment form must be forwarded to the Group Insurance Office at the Division. The enrollment form must be signed, dated and must indicate a designated beneficiary. Employees may also select additional life insurance in either 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x base salary or $10,000, $15,000, $25,000, $50,000, $75,000, $100,000, or $150,000 amounts as supplemental contributory coverage.

The GVI has several supplemental insurance plans that provide for coverage over and above the regular medical, dental, and life insurance coverage. These plans are voluntary and are not contributed to by the GVI.

It is the policy of the GVI to provide a reasonable relocation allowance inclusive of airfare, to eligible employees, based on their employment contract, to help defray the costs associated with relocation from outside the Virgin Islands to accept employment with the GVI.

The GVI will provide confidential and voluntary assistance through its Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to all employees and their family members who may be faced with dynamic challenges of financial concerns, legal issues, alcohol or drug problems, marital problems, illness of a family member, emotional worries, child care problems, etc. For the welfare of employees as well as effective business operations, the GVI encourages its employees to take advantage of this valuable benefit of employment with GVI.

All full-time employees on regular appointments are eligible to participate in the Government Employees Retirement System. Members become vested in the retirement system after ten (10) years of credited service. The benefit at time of retirement is based upon the employee's age, years of service, and salary history.
