This infotype indicates if an employee is eligible for the NUFlex benefits program and at what percentage. If the employee is eligible for benefits, in most cases, the benefit % is equal to the employee's FTE. However, when the FTE percent is not an increment of 5, it is rounded up to the next such number (e.g., 72% FTE = 75% benefit tier). For detailed information about benefits eligibility:
- NU System Health Benefits webpage
- University of Nebraska Administration Human Resources Handbook for Policies, section "NUFlext Benefits," page 24.
| Type of Employee | Benefit Percent |
|---|---|
| Regular Faculty/Staff | If FTE is 50% or greater, the employee is eligible for NUFlex benefits program. |
| Temporary Staff | In general, if the employee is in a temporary position for more than 6 months with an FTE of 50% or greater, the employee is eligible for the NUFlex benefits program (excludes University contributions to retirement). |
| Temporary Faculty | See employee's offer letter. Read more about faculty appointments. |

*In accordance with the Affordable Care Act, any employee that is working 30 or more hours a week on average must be offered healthcare benefits; this includes on-call and student employees. However, the plan offered to them is different than the NUFlex benefits program, and not comparable in coverage or cost to the UnitedHealthcare StudentResources coverage offered to eligible students.
