Introduction

The Office of Human Resources is pleased to provide you with an online copy of your personalized 2008 Benefits Statement. This statement summarizes your benefits and illustrates the total value of your pay and benefits package.

Your 2008 Benefits Statement was prepared using information from Boston University records as of January 1, 2008. It generally reflects benefits that were in effect on that date, except for retirement benefits, which were estimated as of December 31, 2007.

This statement may be used as a general guide to the level of your benefits. By its nature, this statement is not a legal document. Details on your benefits are covered in plan booklets and controlling legal documents. If you have any questions about how your statement was prepared or how to interpret it, please contact the Benefits Section of the Office of Human Resources on the Charles River Campus.

This statement does not create a contract between Boston University and its faculty or staff for either employment or any benefit. Boston University continually studies its total benefits program, and it may improve, modify, or terminate any of the benefit plans reported.

You will need an ACS login account and Kerberos password to access your statement. For more information about setting up your account, refer to the Getting Started section of the Employee Link.

Please also note the following:

• The Employee Link cannot be used with MacIntosh computers using Internet Explorer.
• A pie chart on the statements requires the use of a java-enabled browser in order to be viewed properly. This may require that you download and install Microsoft Virtual Machine. Please speak with your department network administrator if you are prompted to download this software when you attempt to view your statement. (This software should be installed with "Administrator" security privileges.)

Paper copies of the 2008 Benefits Statements are currently in the process of being mailed to all eligible employees. If you have any questions regarding your benefits statement, please call or email the Benefits Section of the Office of Human Resources at 617/353-4709.

We would like to thank University Information Systems for their work in making these statements available online.
