Benefits

The purpose of the Benefit Department is to promote, educate and support prospective, current and retired employees in making benefit decisions that best serve their individual needs. Our goal is to provide professional service in a caring and confidential manner.

Our services include:

  • New employee benefit orientation
  • Benefit enrollment support
  • Annual Open Enrollment education
  • Mid-year benefit changes
  • Research and resolution of benefit concerns
    • On-site benefit trainings
  • Assistance to departments regarding recruitment
  • Processing family and medical leave requests
  • Meetings to assist with retirement plan choices
  • Providing information about voluntary retirement savings plans
  • Counseling employees in the retirement process
  • Assisting retirees in health insurance enrollment

Benefits Orientation Schedule

All benefit eligible new employees (.5 or more) should plan to attend a benefits orientation as soon as possible. New employees are welcome to attend a session prior to hire date or start of term, if convenient. The sessions immediately after the start of the term, especially in the fall, fill up quite quickly so schedule new employees into the earliest session they are able to attend.

Family and Medical Leaves

Employees who need time off from work to take care of a new child, or deal with serious health situations involving their family or themselves, should contact their supervisor to request the time off. The supervisor should notify Human Resources as soon as the employee requests the leave so the proper documentation can be sent to the employee.
