Did You Know:  

Employees on leave without pay will be enrolled in benefit billing depending on when they go on leave and how long they are out

  • UC benefits premiums are paid in advance, with the exception of disability premiums.
    • Monthly employees: April benefit premiums will be deducted from the April 1 paycheck
    • Biweekly employees: April premiums will be split over the first two biweekly paychecks in March
  • Employees on leave without pay who want to continue their UC benefits, will be enrolled in benefit billing so they can pay their premiums directly to UCPath
  • When the employee returns to work, UCPath will reconcile any premiums paid / due and their premiums will resume being deducted from their regular paychecks

Examples:

Monthly:

  • An employee who goes on leave March 2 would be enrolled in benefit billing in April to pay for their April premiums
  • An employee who goes on leave beginning March 29 will be enrolled in benefit billing in April to pay for their April premiums

Biweekly:

  • An employee who goes on leave beginning March 2 will be enrolled in benefit billing in March to pay for the 2nd half of their April premiums
    • The first half of the April premiums would have been deducted from the 3/2/22 paycheck
  • An employee who goes on leave March 29 would be enrolled in benefit billing in April to pay for their May premiums
