As a UHD employee, you and your eligible dependents have access to a comprehensive benefits package comprised of several optional insurance plans designed to fit your needs. In addition, you may be eligible for automatic state benefits such as vacation, sick leave, paid holidays, various leave programs, a retirement program and longevity pay.
If you are a new employee or prospective employee, please view the Benefits Module of the New Employee Orientation Canvas course to review the information you need to make the most of your comprehensive State of Texas benefits package.
If you are a faculty or staff member working 20+ hours a week for at least 4.5 months (within a fiscal year), you may be eligible for select UHD benefits. If you are an employee with a 12-month appointment or who works an average of at least 30 hours per week, you may be eligible for UHD benefits as well.
If you are a part-time faculty member, the Adjunct Faculty page provides the information you need regarding your benefits eligibility.
