Benefits for Part-Time Employees

Associate Faculty Members

In accordance with Article 13.2 of the Academic Associate Faculty collective bargaining agreement, unit members shall be eligible for health insurance benefits (medical only) upon completion of two (2) semesters of at least forty (40) percent of a full-time load (or 6 LHE) or more service within the preceding two (2) academic years, so long as they continue to have an active assignment with the District and authorize payroll deductions or make payments as required by Section 13.6.

Unit members shall be ineligible for continued participation in the plan if their assignment with the District drops below 6.00 LHE in two consecutive semesters (excludes summer break) or are not scheduled to continue in employment. Unit members shall be ineligible for health insurance benefits with the District if they receive health insurance benefits as an employee, spouse, or dependent paid for by any other employer.

Eligibility will be determined each semester during the open enrollment periods held in August (Fall semester) and January (Spring semester). Those eligible will be notified by email.

Unit members who meet the service eligibility requirements, who do not have employer-paid medical benefits through other employment or as a dependent spouse/domestic partner, are eligible for District paid employee-only Kaiser HMO health insurance. Dependent enrollment is available at a cost to the employee. Dependents of unit members shall not be eligible for coverage if they receive health insurance benefits from another source. Unit members will be required to certify to the District that neither they nor any eligible dependent is receiving health insurance benefits from another source simultaneously.
