Welcome
Thomas College takes great pride in its employee benefits program. We strive to offer a wide array of benefits to meet the diverse needs of our employees. This summary of benefits is provided as a general overview of the benefit choices available to eligible employees. Employees working at least 30 hours per week are eligible for benefits on the first of the month coincident with or next following 30 days of employment. You must enroll for your benefits within 30 days of eligibility. Once you make benefit elections, they will be in effect for the entire plan year (January—December). You are only allowed to change your benefits during the plan year if you have a qualified life change. A qualified life change is defined as the birth or adoption of a dependent, death of a dependent, change in marital status or involuntary loss of other coverage. To make a change in your benefits, you must submit a completed enrollment form and proof of the qualifying event to Human Resources within 30 days of the qualifying event. Each year, Thomas College has an open enrollment period during which all employees may make changes to their benefits, to be effective on the plan anniversary, January 1. You’ll receive information about your options in advance of each open enrollment period. This summary of benefits is provided to give you a general overview of the benefit choices you have as an employee. It includes important information such as benefit plan resources, contact information for each carrier, and important notices about our plans. Please read all of the benefits information provided to you. While this summary is as up-to-date and accurate as possible, if there are any discrepancies between it and the plan documents, the plan documents will supersede this summary. Employee benefit plans and policies may be changed at any time, and at the sole discretion of Thomas College.
Sincerely, Michelle Joler-Labbe
