Regular faculty are eligible to enroll in one of two dental insurance programs. The orthodontic coverage is for eligible dependents that begin treatment prior to attaining age 19. There is no University contribution toward the cost of this benefit. Regular faculty are eligible for term life insurance equal to one, one and one-half, two, three, or four times one's base salary. Dependent life insurance also may be purchased by the employee.
Costs depend on the coverage level and the age of the insured.
There is no University contribution toward the cost of dependent life insurance. Available are two separate FSAs which allow certain expenses to be paid with pre-tax dollars. The operation of these accounts is governed by federal regulations which will be explained in the enrollment mailing from the Benefits Office and at a meeting during Faculty Preparation Week. Regular faculty are eligible for coverage under an accrual sick leave plan which provides for an accrual of twelve days per year for full-time employment. Sick leave accrual rates for faculty on reduced assignments shall be prorated based upon the proportion of their appointment to a regular full-time appointment.
