[PATTI] Hi, I'm Patti Riddle and I'm from
Cornell's Medical Leaves Administration.
2
00:00:07,890 --> 00:00:11,660
Our office is here to help anyone who works
at Cornell and who needs
3
00:00:11,660 --> 00:00:14,560
a medical leave to care for themselves, or who
4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,779
needs a leave to care for a family member
with a serious health condition. We're also
5
00:00:18,779 --> 00:00:22,609
here to help assist faculty or staff who are exploring disability
6
00:00:22,609 --> 00:00:27,812
employment accommodations and would
like to talk about worksite changes or adjustments.
7
00:00:27,812 --> 00:00:33,140
Cornell is so unique in how we manage our leaves,
because we pay all of our short-term medical
8
00:00:33,140 --> 00:00:36,480
leaves via our own payroll. This means you aren't dealing
9
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:41,469
with an outside insurance carrier and we try
to keep the leave process as simplified as
10
00:00:41,469 --> 00:00:45,000
possible. Because you stay on Cornell payroll, all of
11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,210
your benefit deductions continue on uninterrupted and
12
00:00:48,210 --> 00:00:53,910
your pay schedule and direct deposit continue
on as well. We understand that needing a
13
00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:57,020
medical leave can be stressful and confusing, and we're
14
00:00:57,020 --> 00:01:00,289
here to help as you navigate the process. Now let's
15
00:01:00,289 --> 00:01:04,800
meet all of our awesome case managers who
will explain the various ways they can assist you.
