50%-74% appointment

If an employee on a 50%-74% appointment would like to apply for medical/dental benefits at their own expense, they may call UMD HR at 218/726-7822 and request that a benefits packet be sent to them or advice the departmental payroll representative who in turn will fill out the online request form.

To request a set of the Orientation and Benefits packet, the department or payroll representative fills out the Orientation for employees with 50% to 74% appointment. No orientation session will be conducted for them. Employees are however, welcome to contact UMD HR (218/726-7822) with any questions they may have.
