Part I — Earlham Benefits
Employee
Benefits
Earlham provides a number of employee benefits programs in
addition to wages and salary. A comprehensive list of these
benefits is contained in the table
of contents. Explanations of each benefit and eligibility requirements follow
this section. Some benefits are provided with no employee contribution; others
may require an employee contribution.
Benefits may or may not be made available for individuals whose
positions exist because of outside funding sources such as,
but not limited to, agencies, grants,
gifts and departmental or office revenue. De minimus benefits, such as bookstore
discounts and library privileges, are provided. Other benefits, such as various
insurance plans, retirement and tuition remission, are limited by the resources
available to those spending units.
Earlham will provide all benefit plans to those eligible employees
who change from less than full-time status to full-time status.
Years of service prior
to such a change in status will not be considered in determining the level
or beginning
date of full-time benefits received by the employee (e.g. vacation time,
retirement eligibility and tuition remission eligibility).
Those employees changing their employment status from full-time
status to less than full-time status will immediately be eligible
for only those
benefits
available to them in their new status. Participants in the health and
life insurance plans
have the right to convert their group coverage to individual policies
upon request.
Separate booklets with detailed information are available from
the Business Office on group health and life insurance, long-term
disability insurance,
and the pension
plan.
