Did You Know:  Employees on leave without pay will be enrolled in benefit billing depending on when they go on leave and how long they are out

o   Biweekly employees: April premiums will be split over the first two biweekly paychecks in March

*        Employees on leave without pay who want to continue their UC benefits, will be enrolled in benefit billing so they can pay their premiums directly to UCPath
