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 become eligible to participate in the District's health insurance plan upon completion of two semesters of 40% FTE (6 LHE) or more service within the preceding two academic years.

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).

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 mail.

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 partially District paid employee-only Kaiser HMO health insurance.
