This information applies to employees on less than 12-month appointments.
Beginning May 2017, employees on academic or less than 12-month appointments will have the summer medical and life insurance premiums, and any associated surcharges collected over two paychecks instead of one. This change will help spread employee’s cost of premiums over more than one paycheck.
A typical scenario for a nine month employee would be that life insurance premiums for the summer break will be taken from the May 10th check. Medical premiums and the tobacco or spouse surcharges (if applicable) will be taken from the May 25th check. Deduction dates may vary for employees with appointment terms other than nine months.
Employees on less than 12-month appointments will receive communications directly from Payroll Services providing additional details.
