Fostering a Culture of Health
FGCU offers benefits to Faculty, Administrative & Professional (A&P) and Support Personnel (SP) employees. These benefits may include paid annual and sick leave, holidays, state- and university-sponsored insurance programs, and retirement.
Due to the temporary classification of OPS and Adjunct Faculty positions, these employees are not eligible to participate in university sponsored benefit programs.
Over 90% of our employees are enrolled in a health insurance plan.
Combined, employees voluntarily contribute over $150,000 per pay period toward their retirement.
Employees are eligible for health insurance coverage on the first day of the month following their date of hire. However, the effective date of coverage will depend on the date the enrollment is completed and the required premiums are paid. The effective dates of coverage are always the first of a month and no coverage will be updated with the insurance carrier until premiums are received by People First.
Enrollment in your state sponsored benefits is performed on the People First Website or by calling (866) 663-4735. Prior to enrolling in your benefits, we suggest that you attend one of our Benefits Orientation sessions or refer to the Employee Benefits Guide for instructions. In order to access the People First website, you will need your People First ID and password that will be mailed to your home following your first week of work.
FGCU contributes over $17 million per year for its employee health benefits.
