Employee Benefits
Slippery Rock University is a member of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), where most benefits are consistent across the universities in this system. The determination of employee benefits depends on various factors such as employment status, number of hours worked, and the specific employee group. If you are uncertain about your employee group, please reach out to Human Resources for clarification.
To be eligible for coverage, you must be a permanent, full-time employee (including temporary, full-time faculty with at least an academic year contract) or a permanent part-time employee (including temporary, part-time faculty with at least an academic year contract) who works at least 50% of full-time hours. Plans vary based on your employee group.
