The cornerstone of MCAD’s benefits package is medical and dental coverage. The provider for both medical and dental insurance is HealthPartners. If you have any questions about the medical and/or dental coverage provided through MCAD, please contact benefits@mcad.edu.
Depending on the medical plan you select, you can contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA), and/or Limited FSA on a pre-tax basis through to cover eligibile medical, dental, vision and/or dependent care related costs. Annual contributions are limited by federal law depending on the level of health coverage you elect. MCAD has selected EBC for FSA, HSA, as well as COBRA administration.
You can’t always predict – or control – your life. But, you can prepare for it. Protecting the financial interests of your loved ones in the event of your death or serious injury can be invaluable. MCAD has selected New York Life for life and AD&D (accidental death and dismemberment) benefits.
For benefits eligible employees, New York Life provides the following enhancements to our benefit programs at no additional cost:
There are a variety of options for students, visitors, and employees to reduce their carbon footprint when traveling to and from campus. MCAD offers convenient access to the student GO TO bus pass, discounted Metrotransit passes for employees, shuttle services, free carpool and vanpool parking, and the sponsored installation of the HOURCAR for students.
Metropass is an unlimited fare card on metro transit available to benefited employees.
Regular, full-time employees who have been with the College for six (6) months are eligible for tuition and continuing education benefits. Part-time, benefits-eligible employees must have been employed one (1) year to be eligible. Adjunct Faculty are also eligible for tuition benefits as described in the CBA.
If you are injured at work, seek appropriate care depending on the severity of the injury. As soon as possible, inform your supervisor and the Office of Human Resources so that a First Report of Injury can be completed. As provided by law, the College carries insurance to cover on-the-job injuries. As part of our Workers’ Compensation Program, the College has established a Return-to-Work Program. The goal of this program is, when appropriate, to return the injured employee to work (either to the original job or to a transitional assignment) as soon as possible, if feasible.
