The University of Wisconsin (UW) System offers 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.
Benefits are based on the employee's position type, length of appointment at UW-La Crosse, and other factors, such as previous service, etc. In the posting for the position to which you applied, look at the "Miscellaneous Information" section to see what specific benefits are associated with your position, or click to learn more.
