Benefits for UNC Employees

The University provides a wide range of benefits for its employees.  Although many of these benefits are shared by all employee classes, some are determined by the employee's position classification (i.e. Faculty, Professional Administrator, or State Classified staff) and full or part-time status.

Medical, Leave and Retirement: Look under Classified, Faculty or Professional Administrative Staff for further details on medical, leave, and retirement benefits.

Recognition Awards

The University understands the importance of outstanding contributions to the campus community. Several recognition awards for all employee classes are given throughout the year from the State of Colorado, the university, or professional organizations representing the employees.
