Benefit at a glance

As a subscriber with The Commonwealth of Virginia, your dental benefits are administered by Delta Dental of Virginia. Vision insurance is included with all medical health plans.

EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (EAP)All employees have access to the employee assistance programs (EAPs) regardless of their healthcare enrollment.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS Enrolling in a health and/or dependent care flexible spending account (FSA) allows employees who are health plan members to set aside part of their salary on a pre-tax basis each pay period to pay for certain out-of-pocket expenses. You can use a health FSA to pay for medical, dental, and vision care expenses not covered by your health plan. A dependent care FSA can be used to reimburse eligible child-care or dependent self-care expenses. FSA Source Book

RETIREMENT PROGRAMS
Faculty members can choose between two retirement plan options: a defined contribution plan or defined benefit plan. The Optional Retirement Plan is a defined contribution plan where vesting is immediate for the employee. This plan is portable, meaning the employee can withdraw or roll over all funds into another qualifying account. The other option available is a defined benefit plan, also known as a pension plan, through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS). The vesting period for this plan is five years. Both plans have a mandatory 5% pre-tax contribution of employee’s salary
per pay period.

LIFE INSURANCE Group Life Insurance Plans Upon employment, full-time Classified employees, Teaching Faculty, and Faculty Administrative Professionals are automatically enrolled in a group life insurance policy at no cost to the employee. This plan provides natural death, accidental death, and dismemberment coverage. Coverage is the equivalent of two times the employee’s annual salary for natural death and four times the employee’s annual salary for accidental death. Optional Life Insurance Plans State employees are eligible to apply for optional life insurance coverage to enroll themselves, spouse, and/or eligible children. The employee pays the premiums.

DISABILITY
Virginia Sickness and Disability Program (VSDP):
Teaching faculty who choose to participate in the VRS defined benefit plan are covered by the VA Sickness and Disability Program which provides eight (8) days of sick days annually, personal/family leave, short-term disability, long-term disability and long-term care insurance with 100% of the premiums paid by the state. The leave year runs January 10 – January 9. To be eligible for short-term disability benefits, employees must satisfy a one-year waiting period. Once eligible, the program provides income replacement for up to 125 workdays. The level of income replacement is based on years of state service. Long-term disability eligibility needs to be approved after the
conclusion of short-term disability coverage. The standard income replacement level is 60% but could go up to 80% for catastrophic conditions. Long-term care is a benefit provided to you when you cannot perform at least 2 everyday activities of daily living. Additional information is provided at hire.

Long-Term Disability for Optional Retirement Plan Participants (ORP):
Teaching faculty members who choose to participate in the defined contribution ORP plan can purchase Long-Term Disability from the VCCS Group plan provided through UNUM. Additional information is provided at time of hire.

TUITION ASSISTANCE Education Benefit Program MGCC encourages its employees to take the initiative in promoting their professional and scholarly growth. The Education Benefits Program is a discretionary fringe benefit provided by the college. Eligible employees will receive a tuition waiver for up to six (6) credit hours per semester excluding summer.

STATE EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT PROGRAMS DHRM, at its discretion, posts information received from vendors that provide discounts to all state employees. Discounted products and services are provided at no cost to the Commonwealth. Employee Discounts

LEAVE PROGRAMS
Sick Leave for Optional Retirement Plan Participants (ORP):
Teaching faculty members who enroll in the ORP participate in the traditional sick leave plan and accrue at the rate of four and one-half ( 4 ½ ) days per academic semester, awarded on the first day of each semester.

Leave:
Teaching faculty do not receive annual leave. However, teaching faculty not participating in VSDP receive 3 (three) days of personal leave at the beginning of the academic year.

Family and Medical Leave Policy (FMLA), Policy 4.20 Eligible employees are provided job protection for up to 12 weeks per leave year for FMLA – certified events. Employees may take an unpaid absence (leave without pay), charge their leave balances to be paid for the absence, or use a combination of both unpaid and paid leave for this period of time. Qualifying events may include the birth of a child; the adoption or foster care of a child; care taking of a family member (child, spouse, or parent) with a serious health condition; an employee’s own serious health condition that makes him or her unable to do his or her job; and qualifying exigency situations related to military service/members. Up to 26 weeks of unpaid leave may be provided to care for a covered service member with a serious injury or illness if the employee is the spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin of the service member.
