  • Healthy Smiles. Go ahead and smile. You can choose the dental plan you like, and the UW pays your premiums.
  • Basics in a Big Way. In addition to top medical and dental options, the UW offers a complete basic benefits package unmatched by other employers. The UW provides $25,000 life insurance and long term disability options for every employee, with coverage you can easily supplement. Round out these basics with a generous amount of paid holidays, vacation, and sick leave.
