Miscellaneous Benefits

Social Security
All employees of the University must pay Social Security taxes, except regularly enrolled students and exchange visitors with an F-1 or J-1 Visa. The employee’s share of the cost of Social Security is withheld from each paycheck until the employee’s gross salary reaches the Social Security earnings base. The University matches the contribution to the program.

Faculty and Employee Assistance Program
The University also offers employees confidential counseling and referral services for emotional and financial problems. Please call the Faculty and Employee Assistance Program at 243-2643 to speak with a counselor or visit their website at http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/internet/feap/.

Intramural-Recreational Sports Facilities
Full-time and part-time salaried employees may purchase an annual recreation pass which entitles the employee to use the University’s swimming pools, handball, tennis, squash, and racquetball courts, weight rooms, indoor track, boxing rooms, saunas, and several other athletic facilities. The University will subsidize a portion of the annual cost for full-time employees. Employees may purchase a pass at the Intramural and Recreational Sports Office in the Aquatic and Fitness Center. For more information call 924-3791 or visit their website at http://www.virginia.edu/ims/.

Savings Bonds
Any salaried employee, full-time or part-time, may purchase U.S. Savings Bonds through payroll deduction. Please contact the UHR Benefits Division to purchase bonds. The website http://www.savingsbonds.gov.

Pre-Tax Parking
Salaried employees who use payroll deduction to purchase parking permits from University Parking and Transportation services may do so on a pre-tax basis. The program is similar to the pre-tax deduction for health care premiums in that taxable pay is reduced and participants benefit by an increase in take-home or net pay.

Employees who participate in the pre-tax parking benefit will reduce the amount of pay subject to federal income, state income and FICA tax withholdings annually. An employee's gross pay will not change but his or her net pay will increase due tot he lesser amount of pay subject to tax withholding.

All eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the plan.

University of Virginia Cemetery and Columbarium
Founded in 1828, the Cemetery at the University of Virginia is rich with history. Located on the corner of Alderman and McCormick Roads, it has served as the final resting place for many of the most prominent figures of the University. There are no in-ground plots available for purchase. However, there are vaults remaining in the University's Columbarium.

Full-time and retired faculty of the University are eligible to purchase a vault in the Columbarium.
