Of Note ...
March 17 and 31, the medical plan premium that is normally deducted from monthly and bi-weekly pay will be suspended for the last two pay periods in March, giving eligible faculty and staff a "premium holiday." The premium holiday will be applied to the March 17 and March 31 pay of employees paid bi-weekly and the March 31 pay for employees paid monthly, meaning no medical deduction will be shown on online/printed pay stubs.
Because claims and administrative costs paid out of the medical plan have not exceeded the premiums collected, a surplus of funds in excess of what is estimated to cover such costs is likely. Eligible faculty and staff include those who: are enrolled in one of the university-sponsored medical plans; hold a regular or term appointment; and are on active pay status on the first day of the pay period in which the holiday will occur.
For more information, view http://hr.osu.edu/Benefits/premiumholidayfaq.pdf, e-mail service@hr.osu.edu or call 292-1050 or (800) 678-6010.
