What is the 1095-C, and why is it needed?
The Affordable Care Act requires employers to provide an annual statement to all employees who are eligible for insurance coverage, describing the insurance available to them. This includes employees who decline to participate in the offered insurance coverage. The IRS created form 1095-C to serve as this statement.

What is on the 1095-C?
The 1095-C identifies the employee, the employer, which months during the calendar year the employee was eligible for coverage and the cost of the cheapest monthly premium the employee could have paid under that plan.

The 1095-C can now be accessed by logging into the SEHP Member Administration Portal, under forms, tax forms.

What do you do with the 1095-C?
The 1095-C does not need to be sent in with the income tax return, however employees will need the information on the 1095-C to verify that they and their family had insurance coverage for each month during the calendar year. This form needs to be kept with other tax documents.

The 2022-23 annual non-teaching employee performance evaluations are now accessible for managers to complete the manager review step of the myPerformance evaluation cycle. The manager review should be completed by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 28.

The 2022-23 review period began March 1, 2022 and ends on Feb. 28, 2023. Managers should first provide summary comments for expectations, competencies and goals then select ratings for all competencies. Managers can progress through each page of the evaluation and select save then submit on the final summary page for the evaluation to be able to progress to the next phase of the cycle on March 1. Managers should then meet with their employees to review and provide a copy of evaluation.

NOTE: The first step of the evaluation cycle, planning, for your 2023-24 direct reports evaluations should now be accessible to managers through myPerformance. This is available to allow managers to meet with their direct reports to discuss both the current end-of-review (2022-23 manager review) and the upcoming begin-of-review (2023-24 planning) at the same time, if desired. The 2023-24 review period for planning expectations, competencies and goals begins March 1, 2023 and ends on Feb. 29, 2024.

Human Resources knows many faculty and staff are curious to hear about the next steps related to the fiscal year 2024 pay cycle (aka market-based compensation).

HR anticipates being able to share more details in the near future. In the meantime, it thanks faculty and staff for their patience as they work collaboratively to make improvements.
