Faculty, administrative and staff employees who regularly work the equivalent of .5 FTE (half-time), or more, are generally eligible to participate in the university's benefit plans. Certain benefits for part-time, with benefits employees are prorated. Individuals hired in positions that are less than .5 FTE, or that are temporary, are not eligible to participate in the university's benefit plans. In certain cases, individuals hired to work long-term temporary assignments (typically six months or more, and 1,040 hours or more) may be eligible to participate in the university's benefit plans. Eligibility for benefits is determined by Human Resources.

Refer to the Benefits Summary, the Good Fit Benefit Book (PLU Benefits Booklet), and plan documents for further details about benefit plan eligibility, waiting periods, and coverage.
