Health Insurance:

The Department of Human Resource Management ( DHRM ) offers a wide range of State Health Benefit Plans administered by multiple vendors such as Anthem, Aetna, Optima, Kaiser, etc. for full-time employees. Most plans include a basic medical, dental, prescription drug coverage, Behavioral health, Employee Assistance Programs along with free wellness visits. The COVA Care Plan with Anthem is a traditional plan with co-pays, small deductible and out-of-pocket maximums. The COVA HealthAware Plan is a consumer-driven high deductible health plan without co- pays but the state provides you with a Health Reimbursement Arrangement to help pay for your medical claims and prescriptions. Coverage starts the 1st day of the month after the employees hire date. Employees starting on the 1st of the month will have coverage effective their 1st day of employment.

Flexible Spending Accounts:

DHRM offers Medical and Dependent Care FSAs as a pre-tax benefit option for full-time employees. You can contribute on a pre-tax basis to cover medical or dependent care expenses. The Medical FSA provides reimbursement for eligible medical out-of-pocket expenses while the Dependent Care provides reimbursement for expenses such as day care, after school care or other fees. There is a $10 minimum contribution to enroll in the program. Employees should be cautious and conservative when signing up for the FSAs. The dollars do not carry over from one plan year to the next.

Life Insurance:

Basic Life insurance is provided to all full-time employees. The policy is 100% Employer-paid and is effective on the employee’s date of hire. The coverage is equal to the new employee’s annual salary (rounded to the next highest thousand) and multiplied by two. For accidental death, the coverage is equivalent to the annual salary multiplied by four.

Optional Life Insurance:

Full-time employees may purchase additional optional life insurance at group rates at one, two or three, or four times the employee’s annual salary. This policy allows you to also insure both spouse and minor children. Your premium is based on age, salary and the level of coverage requested, and the premiums are paid directly through payroll deduction.

Retirement:

Faculty members can choose between two retirement plan options: a defined contribution plan or defined benefit plan. The Optional Retirement Plan is a defined contribution plan where vesting is immediate for the employee. This plan is portable, meaning the employee can withdraw or roll over all funds into another qualifying account. The other option available is a defined benefit plan, also known as a pension plan, through the Virginia Retirement System ( VRS ). The vesting period for this plan is five years. Both plans have a mandatory 5% pre-tax contribution of employee’s salary per pay period.

Available Voluntary Saving Plans: Part-time employees may participate in the voluntary saving plans

Deferred Compensation Plan:

The Deferred Compensation Plan ( DCP ) is covered by IRS 457 regulations and provides another avenue for supplemental retirement savings. Employees can contribute either pre-tax or post-tax dollars directly from their paychecks. The DCP is administered by ICMA -RC.

Tax-Deferred Annuities ( TDA ):

These Voluntary Retirement Savings Accounts give employees the opportunity to contribute tax-free dollars to an annuity program covered by IRS 403(b) regulations. Eligible employees could receive a Cash Match of up to

$20.00 per pay period. The IRS determines the maximum an employee can contribute every year. Employees can enroll in either or both the Tax-Deferred Annuity and the Deferred Compensation Plan.

Cash Match:

Full-time employees are also eligible to receive a cash match to either a TDA or DCP plan depending on your retirement plan contributions. For eligible employees, the employer will match 50% of your contribution up to

$20.00 maximum. Although you can participate in both programs you will only receive one cash match.

Virginia Sickness and Disability Program ( VSDP ):

Teaching faculty who choose to participate in the VRS defined benefit plan are covered by the VA Sickness and Disability Program which provides eight (8) days of sick days annually, personal/family leave, short-term disability, long-term disability and long-term care insurance with 100% of the premiums paid by the state. The leave year runs January 10 - January 9. To be eligible for short-term disability benefits , employees must satisfy a one-year waiting period. Once eligible, the program provides income replacement for up to 125 workdays. The level of income replacement is based on years of state service . Long-term disability eligibility needs to be approved after the conclusion of short-term disability coverage. The standard income replacement level is 60% but could go up to 80% for catastrophic conditions. Long-term care is a benefit provided to you when you cannot perform at least 2 everyday activities of daily living. Additional information is provided at hire.

Long-Term Disability for Optional Retirement Plan Participants ( ORP ):

Teaching faculty members who choose to participate in the defined contribution ORP plan can purchase Long-Term Disability from the VCCS Group plan provided through UNUM . Additional information is provided at time of hire.

Sick Leave for Optional Retirement Plan Participants ( ORP ):

Leave:

Teaching faculty do not receive annual leave. However, teaching faculty not participating in VSDP receive 3 (three) days of personal leave at the beginning of the academic year.

Parental Leave:

Parental leave is designed to support new parents with adjusting to their new obligations while managing the operational impact of their absence from work for a limited period of time. All benefits-eligible full-time administrative, professional, and teaching faculty who have been employed for twelve (12) consecutive months shall be awarded 8 weeks/(320) hours of paid parental leave for childbirths or the adoption of children under the age of 18, conditioned upon the provisions outlined in this policy. The leave shall be prorated for benefits-eligible, part-time 9- month teaching faculty or benefits-eligible, quasi-full-time administrative and professional faculty.

Community Service Leave:
