Total Compensation Statements
University employees who were actively employed and receiving benefits at the end of the 2007 calendar year can view a total compensation statement. The statement calculates the overall value of the retirement, health care, tuition, and the other benefits that you received.
Retirement Incentive Option
The deadline for electing to participate in the Retirement Incentive Option (RIO) has been extended until September 26, 2008. This extension of the window period for electing the program is being granted due to the positive response that the RIO has received, in hopes that the additional time will permit others to accept the program. The RIO is a one-time opportunity for voluntary retirement for eligible employees. RIO will provide 36 months of medical and dental subsidy following an employee's last day of employment.

Several University employee groups are working with administrators to consider whether to support and implement a health care savings plan.
