Also included in this policy is Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance. This coverage provides additional protection in the event of a dismembering injury or accidental death while insured. If an employee has had disability coverage with another employer for a full year prior to employment with Cedar Crest College, the waiting period will be waived. Proof of previous coverage must be provided to the Office of Human Resources. Full-time faculty who have been employed by the College for two years are eligible.
Contributions are on a voluntary basis through a salary reduction agreement.
The College makes no contribution to this plan. Participants may choose to change their combined RA and SRA election once per year up to the statutory limit. Worker's Compensation - Each employee is covered by the Worker's Compensation Law of Pennsylvania which provides for coverage of medical expenses as well as Compensation for injuries arising out of or in the course of employment with the College. Any injury received in the performance of duties, no matter how slight, must be reported to the Office of Human Resources. An employee's failure to submit accident reports within 48 hours may result in denial of a claim or delay in the payment of benefits.
