Introduction to Benefits

Your Bethel compensation does not consist of salary alone; benefits also play an important part. Benefits of employment may change at the sole discretion of Bethel University. A current listing of benefits for benefits-eligible employees follows.

Individual descriptions of the various benefits programs offered by Bethel are provided to you. Called "Summary Plan Descriptions," these descriptions summarize the details of your coverage in easy-to-understand terms. In order to receive maximum benefit from these Bethel programs, be sure to read the Summary Plan Descriptions given to you at your Benefits Orientation or mailed to you once benefit enrollment is completed. For your convenience, they are also available on-line. A link to each Summary Plan Description can be found at the end of each Benefit Summary.

Additional information regarding the benefits plans is available through the Office of Human Resources. 

Please Note: Not all details of the various benefits plans can be included in the Benefit Summaries and these specific plan provisions may affect your individual benefits, depending on your unique circumstances. In all cases the actual benefits plan documents (for example the Pension Plan or any applicable insurance policies), control actual benefits, rather than the Summary Plan Descriptions.
