Imagine having sex with a really hot girl and it was disappointing. I would say that sucks. But another person could say "at least you had sex and that's sweet". But that's just setting low expectations. You could have had sex with any one of thousands of people out there but you ended up with bad sex. It sucks.
LOL!!! Exactly!! But if you read in my past comments I chalked it up and said I guess it's not so bad since I was a temp and went a year without any benefits and at least I had a lot of holidays off...so I tried to see the bright side of it. If I had known this in the beginning it wouldn't have been a problem. I thought I misunderstood but I do get the 20 days pto and 20 days sick days...sweet deal I'd say.
You need to hash this out with your company. It needs to be defined clearly so there is no confusion or misunderstanding down the road. Even if you bring it up casually, you should still find out. You should know this is important especially being in HR - others come to you with the same question for their roles.

Anyone in HR should know their employer's personnel policies in depth, they should be able to close their eyes and quote the relevant policy or know, as in the case of insurance, who the in-house expert contact would be.
OP, I trust you were given a new employee handbook. Read it and understand its contents. Then, because of your role, ask if there are management policies that expand on benefits or to whom you should direct an employee should a question arise.
Simply based on the questions the OP is asking I do not believe s/he is an exempt administrative employee.

If you read the past thread, I haven't even started work and was not given anything. I had to search online for the policy handbook.
Let's not be too harsh on the OP. She did state that she just got the job, so she is not necessarily in a position to know everything at this point. Employee benefits might not even be part of her responsibilities.
Yes, an HR person should know this stuff. Let's give this brand new HR person adequate time to learn the job.

Thank you. I haven't even started yet and have not received anything. I had to search every where just to find the policy handbook!
I know that you haven't started yet but these questions about the benefits didn't come up during your interview?
They did come up but my question was the category because it wasn't clear. My initial thought was correct but then I was told administrator meant something else by the internet and google had different definition but I was right in the first place.
Now, it's important to note that, conversationally speaking, there probably isn't a single, well-defined usage of "administrator" and people across campus will mis-use and abuse the phrase.
But as you are working for HR, it almost certainly has a specific job category meaning, and you need to understand precisely what it means as not only have you needed to answer questions for yourself, but you will get questions from people across campus on what it means for them and their benefits, etc.
