The Office of Human Resources, vice-presidents, and supervisors have worked together on a number of occasions to provide special consideration and assistance to an employee who has been impacted by serious personal or family medical problems or other emergencies.
It has been, “The Ithaca Way” to reach out and help members of our own community in times of unusual need. To ensure that all supervisors and employees are informed about the College’s willingness to help out an employee who is faced with a very difficult situation but has exhausted accruals, we have developed a written policy statement which was recently approved by the President’s Council.
This policy can be found in the Ithaca College Policy Manual, Volume III, Section 3.9.15.2.7, (https://www.ithaca.edu/hr/?page=home&sub=news¶m=Compassionate_Care ) entitled Compassionate Care Policy. Please contact Cheryl Freer at 4-3245 if you have any questions about or need more information about this policy.
