Important Note

The information contained on these benefit webpages is intended to provide a summary of benefits available to eligible Postdoctoral Associates and does not contain all of the plan provisions. Many aspects of the benefits are provided through a group insurance contract with the insurance provider and your full benefits and rights are governed by the terms of the Group Master Contract with the insurance provider and your contract with Western University. In the event of a discrepancy between this summary and the official plan documents, the official plan documents will prevail.

Please contact Human Resources using ASK HR if you have any questions about your compensation and benefits programs.
