Available plans include the Commonwealth Indemnity Plan, Fallon Community Health Plan, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Health New England, Neighborhood Health Plan and Tufts Navigator Health Plan. The Commonwealth contributes 80% of the premium; the employee contributes 20%. Coverage begins on the first of the month following 60 working days or more depending on date of hire.

Dental Insurance
Dental insurance is offered to all full-time employees. The cost, waiting period and insurance carrier vary based on the employee’s job category.
Life Insurance
The Commonwealth requires $5,000 of Basic Life Insurance ($1.37 per month) for all active full-time state employees and retirees who have health coverage. Optional life insurance is also offered with a maximum of eight times the employee’s salary. The premium cost depends on the employee’s age and salary.
Long Term Disability
Long Term Disability Insurance is an income replacement program providing tax-free benefit of up to 50% of the full-time employee’s gross monthly salary if an illness or injury renders him or her unable to work longer than 90 days. This is offered to all eligible full-time employees. The premium cost depends on the employee’s age and salary.
Massachusetts State Retirement
Each pay period, 9% of the employee’s salary (plus an additional 2% of any earnings over $30,000) will be deducted from his or her pay and contributed to the State Employees Retirement System. Each year, employees will receive a statement from the Massachusetts State Board of Retirement showing the contributions, interest earned and balance in your account. State employees do not contribute to social security retirement. Employees may not access these monies until they retire or leave the Commonwealth of Massachusetts employment. Faculty, President, Vice Presidents and Deans are eligible to enroll in an Optional Retirement Program as an alternative to the State Employees Retirement System.
Holidays
The college observes 13 paid legal holidays in a calendar year.
Tuition Remission
The Tuition Remission Program provides tuition remission benefits for full-time employees, their spouses and dependent children at public college and universities.
