VII. Effect on Benefits
- Family and Medical Leave
Employees on approved Family and Medical Leave (FML), if eligible, will automatically receive University contributions for medical, dental and vision coverage for the first twelve (12) weeks of their paid or unpaid leave. The employee must also pay any employee portion of the medical, dental or vision premiums in order for coverage to continue. At the point the employee is placed on an unpaid FML, the employee must complete and submit a UCSC Insurance Continuation Election Form indicating whether they wish to continue or cancel their other insurance benefits for the duration of their leave.
- Leaves without Pay
For all other leaves without pay, the employee must complete and submit a UCSC Insurance Continuation Election Form indicating whether they wish to continue or cancel their insurance benefits for the duration of their leave. Details regarding the status of insurance benefits while on a leave without pay are contained in the UCSC Insurance Continuation Election Form.
- Premium Payment
When required, the UCSC Insurance Continuation Election Form and any required premiums must be submitted to the Payroll Office by the 10th of the month following the first day of leave without pay. After the initial premium payment, payments for subsequent months are due in advance on the 10th of each month.
To determine the impact of personal leave, pregnancy disability leave, work-incurred disability leave, and family and medical leave on retirement and group insurance plans, consult with the campus Benefits Office.
