10.45.1 Health Insurance

The University’s full-time regular employees have the opportunity to enroll in a health insurance plan at the time of hire or during an annual open enrollment period thereafter. The University provides a determined amount of monthly premium contributions for each employee. An employee has the option for spouse and dependent coverage at the employee's expense. A new employee can elect to enroll in a health plan from the date of employment, effective the first day of the employee’s first full month of employment.

An employee’s health insurance coverage ends when the employee elects to cancel coverage or upon employment termination. An election to continue health insurance coverage after termination from employment through COBRA provisions will be available to those qualifying employees, spouses or dependent children. Under COBRA guidelines, only those terminated for gross misconduct are not qualified.
