The UD Human Resources office administers staff benefits programs for employees. The following is just an overview of employee benefits at UD. Call us or consult the actual benefit plan document for more details. Benefits vary for part-time employees.
- Anthem health care program. The University and the employee share in the cost of medical insurance coverage. Two plan options provide different levels of benefits to meet individual needs.
