Benefits
Antioch University New England (AUNE) offers a comprehensive benefits package to all employees working at least 75% time. Some of the benefits of working at AUNE include:
Health Plan
AUNE offers employees a choice between two healthcare plans, a Preferred Provider Option plan (PPO) or a High Deductible plan with Health Savings Account (HD/HSA), along with Dental and Vision plans. These plans are available to employees and their eligible dependents or domestic partners.
We also offer a Supplemental Group Plan for employees who choose not to enroll in either of the two healthcare plans, which provides Dental and Vision coverage.
Flexible Benefit Plan (FSA)
AUNE employees may elect to set aside pre-tax dollars using the Flexible Benefit Plan for three purposes — to pay for (1) dependent care expenses; (2) healthcare expenses; or (3) individual medical plan premiums that are not covered under one of AUNE's healthcare plan.
Short and Long-Term Disability Sick Leave
In addition to sick leave, AUNE provides disability sick leave in case of extended illnesses, replacing income for 3 months if employed under 2 years and 6 months if employed 2 years or more. Employees may elect additional long-term disability coverage. The premium cost is shared 50/50 by Antioch.
Retirement Benefits
In order to recognize the contributions of long-term employees, Antioch University New England extends certain benefits to those who have retired. An employee is eligible for retirement benefits if she/he retires at age 55 or older and has completed at least ten years of continuous employment as a benefit-eligible employee. Retirees and their spouses are eligible to continue enrollment in the same Antioch health plan that is in place at the time of retirement at their expense, less a $30 per month Antioch contribution for the retiree. In addition, the retiree is given a $2,000 life insurance policy. Other possible benefits include:
- Library Access
- Invitation to Annual Employee Events
- Faculty Emeritus Status (with Board Approval)
- Special Student Course Participation
Employees who are considering retirement should contact the Director of Human Resources to determine eligibility for benefits.
Personal Accident Insurance
AUNE offers employees a voluntary 24 hour accident protection plan. Coverage is available for employees and family members. A brochure is available upon request from the HR office.
Vacation
AUNE staff members and administrators are entitled to vacation time based on years of service as follows:
- 0-2 years - 10 days
- 2-5 years - 15 days
- 5 years or more - 20 days
Faculty members are entitled to six weeks vacation in accordance with AUNE's published academic calendar.
Vacation time must be taken in the year in which the employee is entitled and cannot be carried over into another year, nor can employees be compensated for vacation time not taken.
Sick Leave
Employees are entitled to ten sick days per year which work in conjunction with total disability coverage.
Holidays
The AUNE benefits package includes generous holiday time off, including the week between Christmas and New Years. See the Current Holiday Schedule for this year's holiday calendar.
Tuition Remission
Employees (including spouses, dependents and domestic partners) are eligible for tuition remission at AUNE after one year of employment. The value of graduate tuition remission above $5,250 per year is currently considered a taxable fringe benefit and is included in your taxable income. The availability of this benefit is limited based on budget and is granted based on a priority system. View the full Antioch University Tuition Remission Policy.
Direct Deposit
AUNE can direct deposit an employee's payroll check to a bank, savings and loan or credit union, to multiple accounts or to multiple banking institutions.
