Open Enrollment 2024

November is Open Enrollment

The University of Scranton’s 2023 Open Enrollment Period will be held November 3, 2023 through December 1, 2023.  The purpose of Open Enrollment is to allow plan participants to make changes to their health plan election (medical, prescription, dental, and vision).  Changes during the Open Enrollment Period may include adding or deleting dependents from the plan, moving from one plan type to another or electing to opt in or out of the plan. 

If you do not wish to make a change to your health plan or opt-out election, you will automatically retain your present coverage.  Benefit choices made during the Open Enrollment Period for an employee or a dependent will take effect on January 1, 2024; provided the eligibility requirements are met, the participant is covered under the Plan, and all enrollment requirements are met.  Please note, flexible spending elections must be made annually.

All benefit enrollment/change forms must be returned to the Office of Human Resources by the close of the business day on December 1, 2023.

Voluntary Vacation and Sick Donation Form

In 2021, the President’s Cabinet enthusiastically approved a new Staff Voluntary Time Donation Policy for University staff.  Voluntary Vacation and Sick Time Donation/Request Policy 

Grounded in the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis, the University of Scranton is a caring and nurturing community committed to the health and welfare of its staff. The University has implemented a policy for eligible staff to donate earned and unused vacation and/or sick time to a pool, for equitable disbursement, to requesting staff upon approval and in accordance with the terms of this policy.  

A total of 1620 hours has been donated since the policy was launched in January 2022. As of November 1, 2023, a total of 352 hours has been dispersed for qualified staff members.  There is currently a balance of 1,268 hours available in the timeshare pool.

Through the policy, staff members will be able to donate up to a combination of five days of sick or vacation time per calendar year into a timeshare pool from November 1 to December 1 by completing a Voluntary Vacation and Sick Time Donation/Request Form.  

Completed Time Donation Request forms must be submitted to Human Resources no later than Friday, December 1, 2023.
