Benefit Extras
As a UMKC employee, there are many additional benefits you have that you may not be aware of. Benefit Extras are a group of special benefits that provide you with various discounts and perks that you can take advantage of just for being a UMKC employee!
Two Ways to Save!
(1) Take advantage of the many discounts that we have to offer below. These discounts are separated by category and offer discounts to many venues, hotels and events around the city.
(2) UMKC has partnered with the PerksCard network in order to expand and offer many more discounts! This network of discounts require you to register (Free) and print off an exclusive UMKC PerksCard. These discounts are only available to employees who print off this special discount card.
