Appalachian provides a full range of benefit programs and services which support and enhance the employment relationship of faculty and staff.

Comprehensive benefit programs are an essential part of one’s total compensation and are designed to provide income security for future needs, assist with meeting the costs of health care, and provide a generous program of paid time off to help balance the demands of work and family.
