Changes in employee contribution rates for medical plan options are subject to negotiations with unions representing employees in bargaining units for which the contract is expired or for which the parties are currently engaged in negotiations.
Changes in employee contributions for 2010 that were announced in November 2009 employee Open Enrollment communications will not become effective for employees in the Clerical, Health Care Professionals, Nurses, Post Doctoral Scholars, Research Support Professionals, and Technical Units until the University and their unions' representatives reach agreement or until otherwise implemented in accordance with the requirements of HEERA. Due to operational requirements, medical plan options posted on the UC At Your Service website and in written employee communications do not reflect current employee contribution rates for these units.
Employees in the above-mentioned Units will be charged the applicable employee contribution rate until the University and their unions' representatives reach agreement or until otherwise implemented in accordance with the requirements of HEERA.
