What is the name of your state? INDIANA
I recently resigned from my position at a prominent university in Indiana. My three-year contract stipulates that I teach nine months of the year. In the summer I have no contractual obligations, but the university does cover health benefits for the full 12 months of the year. I resigned at the end of June, and the university responded that they interpreted my effective resignation date to be July 2. THEREFORE, they went on, I would not receive healthcare for the month of August, and the premiums I paid out of my May paycheck would be reimbursed to me.
QUESTION: Does this not constitute a defrauding of my wages, as 12 months of healthcare coverage are a part of my compensation for my teaching 9 months?
