Understanding Your Benefits: 2021 Compensation Statement

Mavericks, we commend you for your efforts and thank you for all that you do for the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO)!

Wages paid are always of upmost value to everyone, but are you aware of the further benefits that UNO provides?

The value of being employed at UNO is measured not just by someone’s hourly or salaried pay. In fact, there is a wide range of benefits, services and programs offered by the University that make up an impressive total compensation package for our faculty and staff.

Your Total Compensation Statement (TCS) is a document that outlines, in detail, your direct and indirect compensation. The statement communicates several key details to you including:

• The entire value of your overall compensation package, containing not only the wages you receive but also the cost of the variety of benefits that the University of Nebraska provides.
  
  
• A comprehensive listing of each benefit you have enrolled in, with a corresponding dollar value showing what is paid by you as well as UNO.

Each person's total compensation statement is unique to them. Staying informed of your benefit offerings allows you to make educated choices prior to each annual enrollment period.

The next cycle for Annual Enrollment for benefits will be over several weeks in mid-October 2022, for the 2023 calendar year.

As a reminder, the NUFlex benefits plan includes:

• Health insurance (medical, dental and vision), life insurance, long-term disability benefits, health care and dependent care reimbursement accounts.
  
  
• Retirement Benefits include the 401(a), 403(b) and 457(b) plans. The 401(a) features matching funds from the University, with either a 6.5% or 8% match from the University depending on your Tier election and eligible participation.

Other benefits, services, and programs, including the Faculty and Staff Employee Assistance Program, Long Term Care, and the Employee and Dependent Scholarship program. These benefits and programs, along with the others offered, can be found on the UNO Benefits webpage.
