2024 Benefits at a Glance
The College provides generous employee benefits that extend beyond the traditional benefits of medical, dental, vision, and retirement savings. Additionally, the College offers a variety of benefits that help its employees maintain a healthy balance between work and life priorities, while building financial security.
Plans Offered & Enrollment
Holy Cross offers comprehensive health, dental and vision insurance coverage to employees who are regularly scheduled to work at least 27 1/2 hours per week and a minimum of 40 weeks per year. You are eligible to participate in these programs on the first of the month coincident with or next following your date of hire. These plans operate on a calendar year basis and you may change your elections each year during the annual Open Enrollment period (November). Please note that Open Enrollment is the only time during the year that you can make election changes absent a qualifying life event. Employee premiums for most benefits are paid through deductions that come directly from your paycheck. Please be sure to monitor your paychecks and ensure what you have elected is being deducted accordingly.
