FICA Alternative Plan for OPS employees underway The FICA Alternative Plan for non-student OPS employees was implemented in January 2006. “Since implementation, we have received many positive comments about the plan from employees,” said Paula Fussell, associate vice president for Human Resource Services. “Recently, we have received a number of telephone calls from new employees enrolled in the plan and from employees who have separated from the plan and would like to receive a distribution from their account.” In response to those questions, University Benefits and Retirement has compiled the following additional information. |
Updated employer's costs for grant/contract funded positions in FY 2006-2007 The University of Florida provides a competitive benefits package to all salaried employees. To help with year 2006-2007 budget planning, the Office of Human Resource Services has prepared a list of employer costs for benefits and retirement as well as federal and state mandated charges that are incurred with all payroll activities. |
Employer rates to change for the state’s Basic Life Insurance plan and Executive Service State Disability plan As a result of 2006 legislative changes, effective July 1, 2006, the employer monthly contribution rate for Basic Group Life will slightly increase to $.1243 per $1,000 of the employee-calculated benefit coverage. Rates for Executive Service employees will be $.1577 per $1,000. The rate increase applies only to the employer contributions, with no change to the employee’s rates. Additionally, effective July 1, 2006, the employer monthly contribution rate for the State-Sponsored Group Disability Insurance plan for Executive Service employees will decrease slightly to $.07 per $100 of the employee’s regular rate of pay. The new employer rates for both plans will be reflected on the July 7, 2006, paycheck. Questions? Contact University Benefits and Retirement at 392-1225 (SC 622-1225) or benefits@ufl.edu. |

Spaces available for GED classes this fall If any employees in your area have ever considered completing their high school education, UF’s GED program can help them! The program has enabled more than 20 UF employees to graduate over the past three years. The fall schedule of classes for the University of Florida’s GED program begins in mid-August. The GED classes are taught by a licensed instructor and meet two mornings a week for a total of four hours per week.
