Benefits and Compensation
Our benefits offerings can help you choose wisely and live well throughout the year. Our benefits philosophy encompasses three driving priorities: Choice, Control, and Well-being.
Human Resources provides benefits in 6 core areas:
- Health (medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, and health care flexible spending accounts)
- Retirement (university provided retirement contributions and employee retirement savings vehicles)
- Tuition (for employees and eligible children of employees)
- Life Insurance (basic and supplemental life and AD&D insurance, and life insurance for dependents)
- Disability Insurance (short- and long-term disability and workers' compensation)
- Lifestyle Support (such as child care, EAP, transportation, banking, paid time off, and other benefits)
The specific benefits for which you are eligible will depend on your full-/part-time status, the length of your appointment, and your geographic location.
