For 2010-2011, the stipend for psychology interns will be a minimum of $26,265.
A number of benefits are made available to interns by the University and CMHC:
Currently, U.T. pays 100% of the cost of medical and prescription drug coverage for the employee. The University also pays part of the cost of medical and prescription drug coverage for family members. Other benefits (e.g., life, disability, accident, dental, and vision insurance) are available at an additional cost. Employees can tailor coverages to fit their needs.
Vacation and sick leave are accrued at the rate of 8 hours each per month. Paid holidays and professional leave (to attend professional workshops or conferences) are also provided.
Interns receive a variety of other university benefits, such as a shuttle bus service, recreational sports membership (at an additional cost), and access to the University's extensive library system.
Each intern's office is equipped with two computers, internet access, a video camera, a television monitor with playback unit, and audio recording equipment. The center also has several laser printers available for staff use.
Texas currently has no state income tax.
A mandatory monthly contribution to the state's Teacher Retirement System is required of each employee. However, at the end of internship, contributions to the plan may be withdrawn with interest.
Please note that the above benefits are subject to change.
Interns will be required to use 40 hours of their accrued leave time during the last week of internship (July 26-30, 2010), making Friday, July 23, their last day of attendance at CMHC. Interns may accrue compensatory time (i.e., during weeks in which more than 40 hours are worked) over the course of the training year, part of which may used for this purpose.
Interns are required to carry Professional Liability Insurance that covers their activities during the internship year.
