3.11.2 Employee Assistance Program
The Archdiocese of Atlanta offers a program of confidential consultation for concerns about
everyday problems of living. This is available to all employees and dependent family members. Its
purpose is to provide a practical and constructive vehicle to deal with personal problems which
may affect job performance or the quality of personal or family life. Information may be obtained
from the Employee Benefits Department.
3.11.3 Long Term Disability
The effective date of coverage begins on the 61st day of full-time employment. Approved benefits
are payable after 90 days of continuous disability. Approved disability payments are equivalent to
60% of the pre-disability monthly earnings. All benefits questions, applications, and forms should
be directed to the Archdiocese of Atlanta Employee Benefits Manager.
3.11.4 Worker’s Compensation
It is the Archdiocese’s intent to provide a safe workplace for its employees. However,
accidents occasionally occur, and we would like you to know what steps to take if you are injured
while at work. This policy provides information you should have relative to Workers’
Compensation.
You should report any work-related accident or injury within 24 hours or as soon as possible after
the injury. The injury should be reported to your supervisor, and the Business Manager, or the
Pastor or Principal at your location.
The Business Manager is required to complete the First Report of Injury (WC-1) for each workrelated accident that occurs, whether or not a serious injury has been sustained. The First Report of
Injury should be sent to the Employee Benefits Department.
If you require medical attention, you should select a doctor from the ‘Official Notice’ provided by
the State Board of Workers’ Compensation of approved doctors. Expenses incurred at nonapproved doctors may not be covered. The Notice is posted at every location. Be sure to know
where the notice is posted at your location.
