Health care insurance is not tied to salary, so there would be no change in your coverage regardless of whether you receive full or partial pay while on sabbatical leave. Premiums would continue to be paid on the same basis during the sabbatical leave as they were before it began.
Life insurance is based upon salary.
Premiums continue to be paid on the same basis during the sabbatical leave as they were before it began. The retirement contributions paid by OSU are based on actual pay. Also, since OTRS commitments must be met first, there would be less funds available for TIAA-CREF in this situation. Funds would be forwarded to TIAA-CREF only if the OTRS commitments were met first. Contributions to OTRS are based on the salary earned as a regular full-time employee in the last preceding school year.
