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.
