Benefits for 10 and 11-month Staff and Faculty on 9-month Contracts

Staff

10 & 11 month staff continue to receive benefits during the one or two month(s) they do not work as long as they return to work from their two-month leave.

If a 10 or 11-month staff terminates employment during the one or two month(s) the employee does not work, benefits will end at the end of the 10 or 11 -month period. Benefits will retroactively be terminated and the employee will be responsible for any bills associated with the termination of benefits.

Faculty
Faculty on 9-month contracts (paid over 10 pay periods) continue to receive benefits during the summer as long as they are returning for the next academic year.

When a faculty member on a 9-month contract (paid over 10 pay periods) terminates employment and will not return for the new academic year, benefits terminate at the end of the contract (day after graduation). Health, dental and/or vision insurance continue until the end of the month or May 31.

If a faculty member decides after the end of the 9- or 10-month academic year that they will not be returning to the University, benefits will retroactively be terminated and the employee will be responsible for any bills associated with the termination of benefits.

Faculty and Staff
If an employee has elected to have their pay over a 12-month period, this does not extend the time they may remain on University benefits.

COBRA coverage will be extended to all employees that terminate for any reason besides gross misconduct. COBRA coverage will allow an employee to continue health, dental, and/or vision benefits for up to 18 months. The employee is responsible for the full health, dental and/or vision premiums plus a 2% COBRA administration fee.
