The tuition waiver is also extended to family members of eligible employees who enroll in credit or non-credit classes offered by the College. The waiver does not apply to high- school-based Dual Enrollment classes. Family members include spouses or domestic partners (as defined in the Domestic Partner Declaration Form) and dependent children. FCC defines dependent children as those qualifying dependent children for whom the employee provides at least 50% of their support. A qualifying dependent child is defined as a son, daughter, stepchild, or other legal dependent, who is under age 24, or any age if permanently and totally disabled. The tuition waiver benefit is 100% for family members of eligible full-time employees. This benefit is 50% for family members of eligible 0.5 FTE or greater part-time employees. For more information on tuition waiver for family members, refer to the Tuition and Fees Policy and Procedures and Auxiliary Benefits Policy and Procedures. Employees must sign a dependent certification form, available from the Human Resources Office, when applying for dependent tuition waiver benefits. The College reserves the right to enroll dependents of employees on a space-available basis. Workers’ Compensation and Work-Related Injuries Employees are required to report all on or off-campus work-related injuries, accidents, or exposure to blood and/or airborne pathogens immediately or as soon as possible following their occurrence to Public Safety at (301) 846-2453. The employee should also report the incident to their supervisor and Human Resources. Within 24 hours after receiving a report of an injury, a representative from Publc Safety will conduct a follow-up assessment with the injured employee and any witnesses and provide a report to Human Resources. If warranted, Human Resources will notify the Workers’ Compensation Insurance carrier and provide the necessary forms to obtain a case/claim number. Human Resources will contact the facility where the employee was treated (if applicable) and provide the claim number for the purposes of billing for treatment.. If care/treatment is required beyond the provider identified by the College, the employee must notify Human Resources if they wish to access other providers and submit the name and contract information for those providers. In the case of an absence due to a work-related injury, compensation for lost time will depend on the length of the absence. Injured employees should contact Human Resources for specific information. Human Resources will work with medical personnel and the employee as necessary to ensure adequate transition back to work. Any transition period of light duty or modified duty will be coordinated through Human Resources and the direct supervisor. Should light or modified duty not be available within the employee’s department, other suitable duty may be substituted when possible. Fitness for duty and return to duty certifications will be collected by Human Resources prior to the employee returning to work. Annual Leave
