Mon, 12 Jun 2017 10:25:12 -0400

UMBC is pleased to announce that the State of Maryland has resumed implementation of the SPS (Statewide Personnel System) Workday Benefits module for this year’s upcoming Open Enrollment Period (October 3, 2017 - November 16, 2017). The result will be paperless open enrollment for current enrollees!

The new SPS system has many features such as online enrollment, online document storage, and the ability to view benefit information online. In addition, there are two key policy changesthat will become effective on September 1 with regards to effective dates of coverage for new hires and termination dates of coverage for employees who separate service.

The State of Maryland requires employees to review their personal/demographic information. Employees should log into myUMBC and review current personal information under their profile by July 31, 2017. Instructions can be found on the UMBC SPS Workday webpage.

Please see the following full memo outlining verification needed by you and important policy changes. Human Resources will be providing training and guidance through this implementation period and open enrollment. If you have questions please contact Rochelle Sanders, rsanders@umbc.edu or Zahira Meyers, zmeyers@umbc.edu.

Thank you and stay tuned for more information.
