EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Paycom Transition

Paycom is here!

Dear Life U Community,

We’re thrilled to announce that Paycom has officially launched our latest HR technology updates, designed to make your experience with payroll and HR processes smoother and more efficient. These features include Beti®, which enables employees to take control of their payroll with real-time guidance to catch and correct errors, and GONE®, our time-off automation tool that simplifies the time-off request process.

These enhancements are part of our ongoing commitment to providing you cutting-edge tools and a more streamlined HR/Payroll experience. With these tools, you can expect increased transparency, accuracy and flexibility in managing your information.

We will use Paycom for Open Enrollment, which begins next Wednesday, November 6.

You should have received an email from systemmessage@paycomonline.com, and it would have been sent to the email on file in ADP.

When you log in, you will be prompted to complete a checklist to confirm your information and update your tax information.

Should you not receive the email, or if you have questions, you can contact our dedicated inbox at paycomquestions@life.edu.

Thank you for being a vital part of our team as we continue to innovate. We look forward to seeing the positive impact these new features will bring to your daily work.

Notices

This is a notice regarding your rights against surprise billing and how to notify the proper agency (CMS) when someone believes they have been wrongly billed. As outlined on page 4 of the benefits guide,

“…balance billing happens after you’ve paid your deductible, coinsurance or copayment and your insurance company has also paid everything it’s obligated to pay toward your medical bill. If there is still a balance owed on that bill and the doctor or hospital expects you to pay that balance, you’re being balance billed.”

Preventative Care Services are covered at 100% under all plans.

Health Spending Account (HSA)

Employees electing to participate in one of the HDHP medical plans will automatically be enrolled into an HSA. With an HDHP/HSA plan, the following apply:

Lower premiums compared to the PPOs, but a higher deductible.
You’ll pay your deductible first before your insurance plan pays anything for most services, and then you’ll pay coinsurance, not copays, in most instances.
A health savings account (HSA) can help you save for your healthcare now and in the future, and it offers tax benefits.
You can take the savings from your lower premium and put them in your HSA to cover your deductible.
Your HSA balance carries over each year―and you can take it with you if you leave or retire!
The IRS sets a limit on how much money you can put in your HSA each year (includes employer contributions).
Your full contribution amount will not be available to you upfront. You may only spend the funds that have been added to your HSA.

Flexible Spending Account & Dependent Care (FSA)

Use flexible spending accounts (FSA) to pay for healthcare and dependent care while saving money on your taxes. An FSA allows you to pay certain expenses from your pre-tax income rather than after-tax income. The maximum amount you can contribute to an FSA is set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Coming Soon!

Legal Services

Deferred Compensation

Under current tax law, employees are permitted to put aside a portion of gross income and defer paying taxes on that income and the interest it earns until such time as you receive the funds (generally upon retirement). The university offers a 401(k) plan, which make it possible for employees to take advantage of this provision in the law. Deferred Compensation plans are geared for retirement, so contributions cannot be withdrawn before separation from service unless indicated by the plan document.
