Employees already vested in the Public Employees Retirement System of Idaho may choose to continue with their current retirement plan. 403b's are optional, and NIC does not contribute to them. An employee may sign up for a 403b deduction at any time during the year, as this benefit is not subject to open enrollment restrictions. Coverage lasts until the employee reaches the age of 65 or returns to work. Any employee selecting one is automatically enrolled in both.
Benefits vary by plan.
All employees selecting one of the college's medical plans are enrolled in dental insurance with Blue Cross. Each medical insurance plan is accompanied by vision coverage. Benefits vary by plan. All dependents enrolled on the employee's medical plan are also covered. The cost of the EAP is included in the medical insurance premium, and therefore paid fully by the college for administrators.
