Types of leave and the Service Member Amendment

Prevea Health provides family and medical leave of absence without pay to eligible employees who need to take time off for family and medical situations who are temporarily unable to work due to their own serious health condition or serious health condition of qualifying family member in accordance with Wisconsin and Federal Family and Medical Leave Acts (FMLA).

Full-time and part-time employees who have successfully completed 30 days of employment may take up to five consecutive dates for the loss of a parent, child or spouse and up to three days for other family members outlined in MCN Policy Manager.

Prevea encourages employees to fulfill their civic responsibilities by serving jury duty when required. Full- time and part-time employees who have successfully completed 30 days of employment may receive up to 30 days of paid jury duty leave during regularly scheduled hours. See Employee Handbook for further information.

Please see Jury Duty Policy in MCN Policy Manager.

On Jan. 28, 2008, an amendment to the Family and Medical Leave Act was signed into law. This expansion requires employers to allow the immediate family members of service personnel to take unpaid leave. See Employee Handbook for further information.

Please see Service Member Amendment in MCN Policy Manager.

Paid time off (PTO)

Prevea believes everyone should take an annual rest from their duties and therefore provides paid time off to its full-time and part-time employees (scheduled to work 20 or more hours per week) who have successfully completed 30 days of employment.

PTO allows you to take paid time off for:

Vacations
Holidays
Personal days
Weather emergencies
Family emergencies
Medical appointments
Illness or injury

PTO was established as an easier way to track and manage all time away from work.

PTO is an accrued number of hours of paid leave per year based on your length of service with Prevea. PTO is intended to provide you with continued income while you are off work for any number of reasons.

The table below illustrates the accrual rates for a full-time employee working 40 hours per week.

Years of service	Maximum yearly accruals	Accrual rate
0-5 years	23.5 days (188 hours)	.090385
6-7 years	28.5 days (228 hours)	.109615
8 years	29.5 days (236 hours)	.113462
9 years	31.5 days (252 hours)	.121154
10-19 years	33.5 days (268 hours)	.128846
20-25 years	35.5 days (284 hours)	.136538
26+ years	37.5 days (300 hours)	.144231

In the spring and fall each year, employees with PTO balances greater than 120 hours, Prevea Health offers a PTO buy-back benefit.*

For more on the PTO policy including eligibility, accrual of PTO and buy-back benefits, please refer to the Prevea Employee Handbook found on the Prevea Intranet/SharePoint and/or ADP.

*The current PTO buy-back program will be ending 12/31/2022 and will be replaced with the new PTO cash out program.

Employee assistance program (EAP)

Prevea Clinic has developed an Employee Assistance Program for all Prevea Clinic and Health Plan providers/employees and their families. The program has been designed to assist people with work/professional and personal/family issues and is open to all providers/employees, their dependents, and those family members residing in the provider/employee’s primary residence.

Prevea employees and immediate family members are eligible for three Behavioral Care therapy sessions per issue/problem each year at no cost. If more sessions are required the health insurance will be billed. All EAP records are kept in the Behavioral Care Department. No dictation is done outside the department and no route slip is produced for this benefit.
Psychological testing, psychiatric services, and medication management are not provided as a component of EAP benefits.
If a Behavioral Care Therapist is unable to see the employee due to a conflict of interest or concerns about dual relationships, the person will be referred to another behavioral care provider and every effort will be made to assist the person in securing a timely appointment.
Behavioral Care Department employees may access their EAP sessions through an outside behavioral care provider. Any Behavioral Care Department employee desiring to use EAP services should contact the Human Resources Manager to secure the names of approved behavioral care providers in the community before scheduling any appointments.
The cost of the sessions that are commensurate with internal EAP benefits will be covered by Prevea Clinic.

His impact on health care in our community will continue for decades.
