The insurance benefits, wellness programs, retirement plan choices, and other services offered are a sizable amount of an employee’s overall compensation and important factors in encouraging a healthy work-life balance at the UO. Our New Employee Benefits Resource Center provides detailed information regarding the benefits listed below.

If you are eligible for benefits (0.50 FTE or greater and expected to work at least 90 days), you have 30 days from your date of hire to select and enroll in the UO benefit program. Coverage is effective the first of the month following your online enrollment or submission of enrollment forms to the UO Benefits Office.

Insurance

The University of Oregon offers, to all eligible employees, a Core Benefits Package which provides medical, dental, vision and life insurance coverage. Benefits are extended through the Public Employee Benefits Board (PEBB) and are intended to offer employees comprehensive coverage with a variety of options to meet individual employee needs.
