Benefits
Staff members also enjoy a host of benefits as highlighted below:
MedicalMedical coverage for both outpatient and hospitalisation treatment is provided for under an insurance-based plan. Staff members whose terms of appointment include medical benefits enjoy free coverage under a University-specified plan, as well as the option to cover their dependents on the same plan on a co-payment basis of the annual premium.
HealthChoiceUnder the HealthChoice programme, staff members have the flexibility to claim for a range of health-related expenses up to the credits in their Flexible Spending Accounts. These expenses includes staff’s share of their dependents’ annual premium for the medical insurance, health screening, dental care, fitness programmes, healthcare equipment and recreation activities. This programme complements the medical benefits by advocating greater personal responsibility for pro-active healthcare.

In addition, staff members are also eligible for medical leave, maternity leave, paternity leave etc, subject to the prevailing guidelines governing these provisions.
