The University of South Florida offers its eligible employees a comprehensive benefits package. The University regularly contributes to the employees' retirement plan and also offers a supplemental tax deferred retirement savings program.
Employees receive paid holidays, paid sick leave and paid vacations.
Employees who are appointed to full-time positions are also eligible to participate in the Free University Courses Program. Insurance is available for health, life, dental, cancer, disability, personal accident, and supplemental health coverage, with the University contributing towards the State's Health and Life Insurance Program. Pretax expense accounts are available for medical and dependent day care. Employees must enroll in these programs within 60 days of being employed and appointed to a position and have the option of enrolling, changing or canceling coverage during open enrollment periods, usually scheduled during September or October of each year. Employees may also take advantage of other benefits offered at the discretion of the University.
