Optical Benefit. The Employer will contribute the full cost per bargaining unit member of a family plan illustrative premium for eligible bargaining unit members for a defined optical plan for all participating bargaining unit members. Employees regularly scheduled to work twenty (20) or more hours per week but less than thirty (30) hours per week are eligible for the optical program by paying the University the difference between the University's full contribution and the full-time equivalent cost (e.g. for an employee scheduled to work twenty (20) hours per week, the University will pay fifty percent [50%] of the specified contribution and the employee will pay fifty percent [50%]). If an employee elects not to pay the prorated contribution, the employee will not be covered for this benefit. Participation in the plan is optional for all eligible bargaining unit members. Participation in the plan will become mandatory when the optical plan of any other University employee group becomes a mandatory participation plan unless an employee is currently covered by another optical plan and provides proof of such coverage to the Employer and/or insurance carrier. Payroll deductions will be deducted in advance for coverage for the following month. The plan must maintain the level of participation of the employees on roll as determined by the carrier. The Employer will assume the administrative costs necessary to collect deductions, to submit payments to the insurance carrier, to enroll employees, and to communicate with the insurance carrier regarding administration of the plan.
