"The University's employee benefits program is an integral and important part of employees' overall compensation package."
|
Election of benefits is made at the time of hire after an in-depth orientation meeting with the Human Resources Benefits staff. Health, Life and Long-term disability insurance coverage begins the 1st day of the month for employees working the 1st working day of that month. Coverage for employees hired after the 1st working day of the month begins the first of the month after hire.
Changes in insurance companies and coverage may be made during an annual open enrollment period, in April of each year. Family status changes should be made as they occur (within 30 days or coverage may be denied) by contacting the Human Resources Department.
