Flex Credits for Western Employees
Making the best use of the Professional Expense Reimbursement Account, the Health Care Spending Account, and the Wellness Spending Account
Western provides many of its employees with spending accounts that can be used to cover a wide variety of expenses. These accounts may include the Professional Expense Reimbursement Account, the Health Care Spending Account, and the Wellness Spending Account.
The University also provide Flex Credits - funds that can be used to credit or increase the amount in your accounts, depending on your preference or needs.
Important: Tax rules stipulate that a decision about how much you allocate to each account must be made in the year prior to the year the account is utilized. For instance, in 2024 you are asked to make a decision about how you would like to allocate your funds for use in 2025. A default allocation will be made on your behalf if you do not allocate your Flex Credits by the deadline. Flex Credit allocations cannot be altered after the deadline has passed.
To learn more about the accounts available to you, and about Flex Credits, please select your employee group from those below:
