Sick Leave
Earned
but unused sick leave will only be paid out to retiring employees;
however, balances will remain on file should the employee return to Ohio University or another state employer. To
transfer sick leave balances to another state employer, contact the
records department at University Human Resources at 593-2096.
Educational Benefits
Employees
or covered family members who are enrolled at the time of the reduction
in force notice will continue to receive tuition assistance for the
needed years to graduate (not to exceed three years at the
undergraduate level or not to exceed one year at the graduate level).
The benefit will be at the same level received at termination.
It is the separated employee's responsibility to provide the Educational Benefits Request Form (available to print from http://www.ohio.edu/hr/forms.cfm#e ) to University Human Resources on a quarterly basis in order to maintain this benefit.
WellWorks
The
health and well-being of employees who are laid off due to a reduction
in force is of deep concern to the University. Exercise and wellness
programs can help offset the physical and emotional results that stress
can create on the body. To help employees during this stressful
transition, WellWorks is providing one year of FREE membership to any
employee who is terminated due to position abolishment. The one year
period may begin as early as the date of receipt of layoff notice or as
late as the separation date. To enroll, please stop by WellWorks located in Grover Center E124.
