Benefits eligibility is dependent upon a variety of factors, including employee classification. The Foundation Human Resources Department can identify the programs for which you are eligible. Details of many of these programs can be found elsewhere in the employee handbook or through the Human Resources Department.
Benefits become effective immediately upon employment within an eligible category.
Employees become eligible to enroll in this program on January 1 st following six months of employment within an eligible category. This program covers any injury or illness sustained in the course of employment that requires medical, surgical, or hospital treatment. Subject to applicable legal requirements, workers' compensation insurance provides benefits after a short waiting period, or, if the employee is hospitalized, immediately. An employee who sustains a work-related illness or injury must inform the Foundation Human Resources Department immediately. This will enable an eligible employee to qualify for coverage as quickly as possible and it will alert your employer to potential workplace hazards.
