Part I — Earlham Benefits Section 7 All Earlham employees are covered by Workers' Compensation insurance for all injuries while at work. Earlham endeavors to provide safe and healthful conditions in which to work. In addition to obtaining prompt medical attention, details of any job-related injury must be reported to the Business Office as soon as possible, both for Worker's Compensation purposes as well as the record keeping requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. If an employee is injured in the course of his/her work, the employee is eligible for lost-wage compensation and medical expenses as determined by the Workers' Compensation Law. Prior to returning to work, the employee must submit a physician's statement certifying the employee's ability to return to work and perform all his/her duties. Earlham reserves the right to require drug-testing of employees involved in any accident which results in lost time, injury to self or others, or property damage. In the event that an employee is disabled and receiving Workman's Compensation Benefits, Earlham will continue to pay the employer portion of the employee's group health insurance premium and the life insurance premium. While receiving Workers Compensation benefits, all de minimus fringe benefits and Tuition Remission at Earlham continue but only the health insurance and group life insurance paid benefits are continued as described above. Earlham will also bill employees who wish to extend their dependent health care coverage while receiving Workers’ Compensation benefits. If at any time, the employee’s dependent coverage premium payments are more than 30 days past due, Earlham’s health care coverage will cease and COBRA coverage will be extended to the dependent. In the event that the employee is no longer eligible for workers compensation benefits and does not return to employment at Earlham, then health care coverage will continue at the employee’s expense under COBRA. The employee must contact the Business Office to make arrangements for these billing procedures. |
