Benefits Overview

All of us in Human Resources are committed to providing Rice University faculty and staff with comprehensive information regarding benefits and other university services.  The overview below is a summary of the benefits available to you as a Rice University employee.  Other, more comprehensive information can be found via the links to the left.

These benefits are an important part of your total compensation package.  We encourage you to review all of the information available to you via this website so that you can determine how to best apply these benefits to your personal situation.  Please contact Your Benefits Team if you have additional questions or concerns.

If you are a new employee, remember that you have 31 days from your hire date (or your benefits eligibility date, if recently benefits eligible) to enroll in benefits.  If you miss this enrollment window, you cannot enroll in most of the benefits until the next open enrollment period. (unless you have a  change in status).

We look forward to helping you meet your professional and personal goals as a Rice employee.  The Human Resources department continues to strive to provide excellent service and competitive benefits to our customers -- you!
