Shared Appointments
general information
benefits information
Coverage appropriate to your familial situation will be provided for the entire year if you are working full-time in a half-year appointment or half-time in a full-year appointment. You will pay a prorated portion (normally one half) of the annual premium as well as a prorated portion (normally one half) of the employee annual cost-sharing based on the plan of choice, base salary and salary band effective the first of each year. The college will pay the balance of the annual premium.
If you and your spouse are sharing one full-time position, the faculty/employee enrolling in the healthcare coverage will pay 100% of the annual cost sharing based on the plan of choice, base salary and salary band effective the first of each year. The college will pay the balance of the annual premium.
If you do not agree to pay your portion of the cost sharing and annual premium for the entire year, you will not be eligible for this benefit.
Generally, salary for an employee in a shared appointment is paid over 26 pay periods, and faculty/employee cost for healthcare coverage will be paid through payroll deduction. In the event salary/wages are not paid over 26 pay periods, the faculty/employee will be required to remit their cost directly to the college on a monthly basis.
