Compensation for regular, part-time employees is established using the same criteria as for regular, full-time employees. For F/T employees, the university pays retirement, medicare tax and health and life insurance. Part-time employees may or may not be eligible for benefits, depending upon how many hours they work per week (their full-time equivalency (FTE) value). For most P/T, the university pays FICA and Medicare tax. Part-time employees that are at 50% or higher are eligible for retirement.  You must be 75% employed to receive health benefits. Part-time employees working less than 20 hours per week are not eligible for benefits.

Using the fringe benefits rate (45.9% in 2020) to estimate benefits and total compensation, the lowest paid employee earning all eligible benefit makes $11.67.
