General Information:
Detailed information regarding benefits can be found in the New Mexico State University Policy Manual or in the individual insurance program brochures.
Unless otherwise stated, all paperwork required to enroll in your benefits must be received by the Employee Benefits Office no later than your 31st calendar day of regular employment. Premium payments begin in the pay period in which coverage begins.
All Academic or 9, 10 and 11-month staff pay premiums/make plan contributions over the academic year, unless otherwise stated.
On January 1, 2005, the university has transitioned to Banner. This system enables the unversity to begin the transition of having one operating system on campus for students, faculty and staff. More information regarding the project including timetables for additional implementation may be found at ERP.nmsu.edu.
All employees are required to activate their global ID and passwords at my.nmsu.edu. By doing this employees will be able to review email, report their time and leave on-line and review employment and benefit enrollment information on-line.
