If an employee selects medical or dental coverage requiring the payment of a premium contribution, the employee's salary will be reduced by the amount of the required premium contribution as part of the plan, and the employee will not have to request this benefit. If, however, an employee does not wish to participate in the premium option plan, the employee must file a declination of premium option plan form with the employee's benefits administrator. An employee's participation in the premium option plan terminates on the employee's last day of employment.
