The university offers group health insurance for all eligible employees. Optional dependent coverage is available. Insurance premiums will be deducted from ten paychecks. Ten equal amounts will be deducted from paychecks to total the 12 months of premiums for a full year of coverage.
Coverage begins on the date of signature.
Employees have 31 days from the date of employment to sign up for coverage. Changes may be made on the same card. Details of coverage and provisions of the health plan are available in the plan booklet given to employees at new employee orientation. The university pays a percentage of the premium of the employee and, if the employee's dependents are enrolled in the plan, a percentage of their premium also. The university's portion is prorated for part-time employees whose insurance coverage began after August 1, 1983.
