RE:  Benefits Office Service Hours

Effective Friday, June 9, the campus Benefits Office will increase service
hours from the current 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. schedule to an expanded 9:00
a.m. - 3:00 p.m. schedule. 

In an effort to respond to employee concerns and to provide optimum
customer service with limited staffing, the Benefits Office has sought the
additional services of an internal Human Resources staff member, who will
increase her part-time schedule to assist in Customer Service.  We have
also initiated a Benefits Internship program for campus Departmental
Benefits Assistants (DBA), and will have a DBA from the Facilities Services
Division participating to allow us to increase our service hours.  As a
result, four Benefits Customer Service Representatives will be available
during these new hours to respond to walk-in customers and answer the
Benefits Unit main phone line at (530) 752-1774.

This schedule represents an interim measure for the next several weeks
while recruitment is underway for a permanent Customer Service
Representative position for the Benefits Unit.  Once the recruitment and
training process is completed, the service hours will expand again to a
full 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (open during lunch) schedule. 

One-on-one counseling appointments with the Unit's two Benefits Analysts
will continue to be available between the hours of 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
The Unit also has a recruitment process underway for a third Analyst
position.  Once the new Analyst is hired and trained, it is anticipated
that the waiting time for counseling appointments will improve from the
current 3 - 4 week wait to a wait of less than ten days.  

Should you have any questions, please contact Benefits Manager Liz Hansen
at (530) 752-1765 or eahansen@ucdavis.edu.
