VCU benefits announcements will come only from VCU emails or social media accounts
VCU Human Resources is aware that some employees have received email solicitations or social media contacts that attempt to represent themselves as official communications from VCU about employee benefits. VCU announcements about employee benefits will come only from VCU email addresses or through official VCU social media channels. VCU's approved retirement plan service providers are Virginia Retirement System, TIAA, and Fidelity Investments. Communications from these approved retirement plan service providers will include their logos and references to specific programs in which VCU employees participate. Communications from other parties are not authorized by VCU.
Health Coverage for Part-Time Staff and Faculty
- Classified staff, University and Academic Professionals and faculty who work 75 percent or more FTE (full-time equivalency) are considered full-time for health benefits coverage, which means that VCU pays a portion of the premium and the employee pays a portion of the premium.
- Classified staff, University and Academic Professionals and faculty who work between 50 and 74.9 percent FTE are eligible for health benefits coverage; however, participants pay the total premium (VCU’s premium portion plus their own premium portion).
Clinical Faculty
- Clinical faculty hold academic appointments with Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and are separately employed by MCV Physicians (MCVP), which is the faculty practice plan of VCU Health. VCU and MCVP are separate employers. Each employer pays a separate salary and offers its own range of benefits to clinical faculty. Please be sure to contact the correct HR office for questions regarding each benefit.
- A summary of all benefits is available in the Benefits VCU/MVCP comparison chart. For more information about benefits provided by MCVP, log into the VCU Health Intranet or contact VCU Health System Human Resources.
