Disability Insurance

Eligible staff members are automatically enrolled in the college's long-term disability insurance program. This insurance is effective on the first day of the month following thirty days of employment. If a staff member becomes disabled, the long-term disability plan provides benefits of up to 60 percent of his or her annualized salary; he or she continues to receive health insurance and retirement benefits. Further information about this plan is available from the Human Resources Office.

Workers' Compensation Insurance

The Michigan Workers' Compensation Act has provisions that govern the treatment of persons who suffer injury and/or disability while at work. If a staff member is involved in an accident or suffers personal injury arising out of and in the course of college business, he or she should seek immediate medical treatment and fill out an Injury Report Form within twenty-four hours of the injury, if possible.

Please refer to the Benefits Eligibility Chart for eligibility for this benefit.
