Employee Insurance Coverage
Insurance benefits such as medical, dental, vision, life, long term disability are available to eligible employees through the plans adopted by the Board of Trustees.
Legally-mandated insurance coverage such as unemployment and workers’ compensation shall be provided in accordance with state and federal law.
Workers compensation insurance is provided by the College for the purpose of offsetting loss of income for work-related injuries and illnesses. An employee has the option of taking either sick leave or worker’s compensation, but not both. If sick leave runs out, an individual may receive worker’s compensation insurance payments.
Injured employees should be taken immediately to a health-care provider.
All job-related injuries and illnesses must be reported to the Human Resources Office within twenty-four (24) hours by the employee or their supervisor.
Return to work after a job-related injury or illness requires a medical release form from the attending health care provider. If the provider recommends that the employee return to work with job-activity restrictions, the return must have approval of the Director of Human Resources and it is the supervisor’s responsibility to ensure that the approval is in place before the employee returns to work.
