BENEFITS AND TOTAL REWARDS<\/summary>
\n

The Universities of Wisconsin<\/a> offer\u200b a comprehensive benefits package to meet the diverse needs of our community. The University contributes towards the cost of several benefit plans. This is a valuable piece of employees’ total rewards package. Other plans offer favorable group rates and convenient payroll deductions to employees. Some health and life insurance premiums are taken from salary on a pre-tax basis, saving employees money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA)<\/summary>

ACA Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), referred to more frequently as the Affordable Care Act (ACA)<\/strong>, is the health care reform legislation signed into law by President Obama in March 2010. Many of the key provisions of the law were designed to extend health insurance coverage to the uninsured, improve the quality and affordability of health insurance and reduce health care costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does the ACA have to do with Payroll?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Affordable Care Act includes the individual shared responsibility provision<\/a> and the premium tax credit<\/a> that may affect your annual tax return. More information can be found on the IRS website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, employees may receive a 1095-C from the University. If you have insurance through the UW System health insurance plan, you will also receive a 1095-B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more information visit the UW System ACA Frequently Asked Questions.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Employees – Additional ACA Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To be in compliance with the Affordable Care Act and state legislation, student employees can work a maximum of 25 hours per week total during the academic semesters. The hour maximum is per week, not <\/strong>per pay period. If you have more than one campus job, you must coordinate your total hours working per week with all supervisors. Total hours per week include all jobs together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student employees may work up to a maximum of 40 hours per week during the non-academic semesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
