______________________________________________________

 

This is a heads up notice to all departments.  We just ran a query of
the employee database to see how many employees are "INACTIVE" but have
benefits coverage for the month of July 2008.  One hundred and fifty one
employees are currently INACTIVE but have assigned BELI codes of 1, 2,
3, 4 or P.  As you many know, employees with BELI codes 1, 2, 3, 4 or P
have benefit coverage on the Payroll/Personnel System (PPS).  An
employee is INACTIVE if there is no active appointment for the month of
July.  Please see the attached spreadsheet.  The list is sorted by ORG
unit and home department code.  Benefit (Medical, Dental, Vision or Core
Medical) premium(s) will be paid to the Insurance Carrier(s) and the
department will be charged automatically if nothing is done.

 

Please take a look at your employees' employment status especially
academic employees that have 09/09 appointments.  Please process a
separation before July 25, 2008 if an employee is not eligible to
receive pay for July earnings.  A separation date will put a coverage
end date(s) on the benefit(s); and premiums will not be paid
automatically to the Insurance Carrier(s).  Make sure you do not
separate academic employees currently working for summer session.

 

If you fail to process a separation, your department will be charged for
the insurance premium(s) whether the employee receives a pay check or
not.  This practice of billing the department automatically began in
July 2000 when consolidated billing was implemented at UCR.  If you have
any questions, please contact Sonia Kalogonis at x 2-1962.   

 

Thank you.
