Did you Know: Benefits Billing for Employees on Leave without Pay

April 8, 2022

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

UC benefits premiums are paid in advance, with the exception of disability premiums.

  • Monthly employees: April benefit premiums will be deducted from the April1 paycheck
  • 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

When the employee returns to work, UCPath will reconcile any premiums paid / due and their premiums will resume being deducted from their regular paychecks

Examples: 

Monthly

  • An employee who goes on leave March 2 would be enrolled in benefit billing in April to pay for their April premiums
  • An employee who goes on leave beginning March 29 will be enrolled in benefit billing inAprilto pay for theirAprilpremiums

Biweekly

  • An employee who goes on leave beginning March 2 will be enrolled in benefit billing in March to pay for the 2nd half of their April premium
    -  The first half of the April premiums would have been deducted from the 3/2/22 paycheck

  • An employee who goes on leave March 29 would be enrolled in benefit billing in April to pay for their May premiums
