Time Base Changes

Employee eligibility for health benefits (medical, dental, and vision) is based on the length and timebase of their appointment. Once benefits eligibility is established, it continues into subsequent consecutive appointments as long as the set timebase does not drop below half-time (.50).

The appropriate administrator (HEERA Manager or Division) must complete the Change in Time-Base/ Pay-Plan/Status Smartsheet.

Permanent timebase changes must be submitted to your HEERA manager for approval with final approval by your divisional Vice President. The work hours need to be indicated on the request and are subject to the HEERA manager's approval and could change based on operational needs of the university.

If the position's duties are changing (versus a change in volume of work), an updated position description form outlining the work to be performed at the new timebase must be submitted and uploaded via the Change in Time-Base/ Pay-Plan/Status Smartsheet.
