Benefits Spotlight – Understanding Your Benefits Summary

Unsure of the benefits you are enrolled in or what it is costing you? Check your Benefits Summary in your RCUH Employee Self-Service to see all of the employee benefits you are enrolled in, who is paying for it (employee or employer), and how much is being deducted from your pay statement.

To access your Benefits Summary: Log in to your RCUH Employee Self-Service > under Employee Information click on Employee Benefits – See Benefits Summary. (Please note the Benefits Summary currently is only for regular-status benefits-eligible employees who are 50%-100% FTE.)

This sample Benefits Summary is being used for informational purposes only, to help you understand which benefits you are enrolled in and are being deducted. Keep in mind that your Benefits Summary may appear different. Please review the RCUH policies and Guide to Health and Welfare Benefits regarding eligibility requirements.

Helpful Tip! You should check your Benefits Summary periodically to check if rates have changed, if your employment status affected any benefits (i.e., FTE reduction), etc. It is best to stay informed of your benefits, especially those that you pay for so there are no surprises in the future.

The date will default to the 1st of the current pay period. If your benefits coverage begins at a later date, you can select a future date to see your benefits information. Change the date and click on "Refresh." Please note sick and vacation leave balances will not update.
