Employment
Why Work at Malone University?
A calling, not just a career
At Malone University, work is more than a job— it’s an opportunity to live out your faith, serve others, and invest in the next generation of Christian leaders. Every employee plays an important role in preparing students for lives of Christian service, leadership, and purpose.
Join a community of shared faith
For many employees, the greatest benefit of working at Malone is the opportunity to serve alongside colleagues who share a common Christian faith and commitment to Christ. Malone seeks to foster a workplace where faith and learning are integrated, relationships matter, and employees support one another in work and life.
Guided by biblical principles, our community desires to demonstrate the Fruit of the Spirit, as well as honesty, forgiveness, humility, service to others, fairness, and respect for all people. These values help shape a Christ-centered culture where our workforce can grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.
Making a difference in students’ lives
Whether serving in the classroom, residence halls, administrative offices, athletics, facilities, student services, or support areas, every employee plays a meaningful role in the educational and spiritual development of students.
Health and Wellness
Medical Insurance
We offer comprehensive medical insurance with multiple plan options designed to meet the needs of employees and their families. Eligible employees may choose from traditional PPO plans or a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Malone shares in the cost of medical coverage and contributes to the HSAs of eligible employees who enroll in the HDHP, helping offset healthcare expenses and support long-term savings.
Dental Insurance
Malone offers dental coverage to help employees and their families maintain healthy smiles. Preventive services such as exams, cleanings, and X-rays are covered at 100%, while additional services such as fillings, crowns, and orthodontia receive substantial coverage under the plan.
Vision Care Plan
We provide vision coverage to help employees and their families maintain eye health. Coverage includes routine eye exams, prescription lenses, frames, and contact lenses, with low copays for annual exams and allowances toward eyewear. Vision coverage is available to eligible employees effective the first day of the month following their date of hire.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) & Health Savings Account (HSA)
Malone offers Flexible Spending Account (FSA) options that allow eligible employees to set aside pre-tax dollars for qualified healthcare and dependent care expenses. Employees enrolled in the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) are also eligible to contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA). To help offset eligible healthcare expenses and encourage long-term savings, Malone contributes to the HSAs of eligible employees enrolled in the HDHP. These tax-advantaged accounts help employees reduce taxable income while paying for eligible out-of-pocket expenses.
Paid Time Off
Holidays
Malone provides approximately 19 paid University holidays and closure days each year, which include the extended Christmas and New Year break when Malone is closed. The official holiday schedule is published annually.
Paid Time Off
We support a healthy work-life balance by providing generous paid time away from work. Eligible employees receive paid vacation, paid sick leave, and personal days to help balance work, personal commitments, and wellness. Vacation benefits increase with years of service, providing employees with additional time to rest, recharge, and spend time with family and friends.
Newly eligible employees receive a prorated vacation and personal day benefit beginning the first of the month following their start date, so they can begin enjoying these benefits early in their employment.
Vacation & Time Off Highlights
- Generous paid sick leave, with benefits varying by position and employment classification.
- 2–4 weeks of paid vacation, depending on position and years of service.
- Two paid personal days each benefit year.
Education Benefits
Tuition Remission
We offer a tuition remission program designed to support higher education for employees and their families. Eligible full-time employees may receive 100% undergraduate tuition remission after six months of employment, while qualifying spouses and dependent children may also receive undergraduate tuition benefits when attending Malone. Faculty members are eligible for certain tuition remission benefits upon hire, and part-time employees working 20 or more hours per week may qualify for prorated tuition remission benefits.
Eligible employees and spouses may also receive tuition remission for degree completion and graduate programs, including master’s level coursework. Full-time employees and spouses may receive 50% tuition remission for eligible programs, up to 21 credit hours per year. Graduate-level tuition remission may be taxable in accordance with IRS regulations.
Tuition Exchange
Malone University participates in several national tuition exchange programs that provide eligible full-time employees and/or their dependents the opportunity to apply for undergraduate tuition scholarships, up to 100% tuition, at more than 1,000 participating colleges and universities nationwide, including many Christian institutions. Because many institutions participate in multiple programs, the total number of unique participating schools is somewhat lower.
Tuition exchange scholarships are awarded by the participating institution and are not guaranteed employee fringe benefits. Eligibility, scholarship availability, and award amounts vary by program and institution. Employees and eligible dependents must apply to and be accepted by the participating institution to be considered for a tuition exchange scholarship.
Financial Security
Malone University Retirement Plan
We offer a 403(b) retirement savings plan through TIAA to help employees prepare for their financial future. Eligible employees may contribute to the plan through convenient payroll deductions, and eligible employees may also receive an employer contribution from the University to support long-term retirement savings. This benefit allows employees to build retirement savings through tax-advantaged contributions while receiving support from Malone.
Life Insurance
Malone provides group term life insurance at no cost to eligible employees who work 30 hours or more per week. Eligible employees also may elect supplemental life insurance coverage for themselves and their families when first becoming benefit eligible and during the annual open enrollment period, subject to plan terms and approval requirements.
Long-Term Disability
We also provide long-term disability insurance at no cost to eligible employees. This benefit offers income protection during qualifying extended illnesses or injuries that prevent an employee from working for an extended period of time.
