Employee Benefits

Health Insurance

The University provides a Medical Clinic that is situated on Campus and is run by A Medical Officer, Health Extension Officer plus 16 Nursing Officers. The Clinic is supported by the University.  Staff who are employed by the University also support through a very minimal fortnightly deduction.  Staff, spouses and dependents who are below the age of 19 years can access the clinic at no cost. 

1. Citizen staff (Contract and permanent) can claim refund from their sick leave days if they seek medical service from outside the university’s clinic for conditions that cannot be attended to by the clinic. The University also encourage staff to take out private medical insurance cover if they so need.

2. Non-citizen staff are also encouraged to take out their own private medical Insurance because they are not eligible for any refund.

Retirement Plans

The University does have a retirement plan that coincides with the Public Service retirement exercise. The University is a state agency, and adheres to mandatory age limit set by the Public Service, especially for the non-teaching employees. For employees who are teaching, the University does allow them to work beyond the mandatory retirement age in some cases. Staff are encouraged to join retirement plans provided by the superannuation funds as the University remits fortnightly to them for employees.

Superannuation

Superannuation is mandatory contributions by citizen employees to two (2) of the nation’s major superannuation funds (namely; Nambawan and Nasfund superannuation).  Employees have the option to choose which one they wish to contribute to.  Yes, there are retirement benefits provided by these superannuation fund companies.  Awareness is conducted by the superannuation officers upon retirement of employees to alert them the products retirees can access before the actual retirement happens.  These meetings are organized by this Office so that retirees are aware of options available to sustain them while on retirement.

Leave & Travel Policies

The section manages and initiates the process of Leave & Travel benefits/entitlements for the employees of the university with their legal dependents.
