Have someone come in and do a Medicare Workshop

• We hosted our first Medicare workshop in February 2020. We look to host another in the future.

Place for people to post non work related items ~ recipes, requests for recommendations, selling tickets, looking for a ride, etc.

• This is something that Staff Work Life Committee is unable to handle and monitor, however we encourage others to facilitate this activity through their own channels.

Have a shared sick bank for staff to donate their time for others who need it.

• Sick time is provided to staff employees for short-term medical leave. As a college funded benefit that is awarded annually, sick time is not transferable to other staff employees. The value of a sick day differs between employees. Transfer of days from one employee to another creates equity challenges, among other issues. In the event of a qualified medical leave, employees are eligible to receive New York State Disability benefits, which is in place to supplement pay. Besides sick time and NY disability, full time/full year employees receive paid time off benefits in the form of vacation and personal days that also can be used to supplement any medical leave. For eligible employees who require a medically related short-term leave, the College provides different options for leave of absences and continuation of benefits while on approved leave.
