Personal Time

Each January, 24 hours of personal time is allocated to employees. Employees must complete a 6-month orientation period before becoming eligible for personal time. Personal time does not carry over from year to year. Employees will not be compensated for unused personal time upon leaving Johnson County.

Retirement

Johnson County provides a comprehensive retirement plan through the Texas County & District Retirement System (TCDRS), helping employees build a secure financial future.

Employees contribute 7% of their gross earnings each payday.
The County matches the contribution dollar-for-dollar, helping build a strong foundation for your future.
Participation is mandatory and begins on your first day of employment.

Cafeteria Plan & Deferred Compensation

Employees can also take advantage of flexible benefits designed to reduce taxable income and support long-term financial goals. Deferred Compensation Programs are available through Nationwide and Corebridge Financial, offering a variety of tax-advantaged savings strategies.

Pay

Employees are paid bi-weekly, every other Friday. Payroll is processed two weeks after the time is worked. If a payday falls on a county holiday, employees will be paid on the preceding workday.
