INTERMEDIATE
TERM DISABILITY
This Intermediate Term Disability policy for teaching
and administrative faculty members is provided as a bridge between
Paid Sick Days (see section
15) and the Long-Term Disability policies (see Section
3 for additional information).
Intermediate-term disability benefits are available
to all full-time faculty members who have been employed by Earlham
for more than one (1) year on a full-time basis. Under this program,
an administrative faculty member who is unable to work because
of serious illness or injury will continue to be paid up to 180
calendar days from the initial date of the disability. Without
a written request from the faculty member and written approval
from the Provost, President, Dean of ESR or the Vice President
for Financial Affairs, intermediate term disability benefits may
be initiated only once in a 12-calendar-month period.
It is expected that teaching faculty members will
ensure that their academic responsibilities are met or covered
by other faculty members. Teaching faculty members should contact
the Provost for longer illnesses that will have an impact on their
teaching obligations. |
