Don’t Forget These Leave Enhancements

As part of our commitment to helping you and your family thrive, beginning January 1, 2024, CC will implement several leave enhancements. These changes have already been shared at in-the-loop, in People Connections (the HR newsletter), through open forums, and other venues. One highlight of these enhancements is that hourly employees will begin accruing leave at the same rate as salaried employees at this time. In addition, employees will have access to the Colorado Paid Family Medical Leave (COPFML).

Beginning Jan. 1, 2024:

  • Requests for regular sick leave and/or vacation leave should continue to go to your supervisor for approval.
  • Requests for leave that might qualify for FML, Colorado Paid Family Medical Leave COPFML (or FAMLI), and short and long-term disability should be requested:
    • Through The Hartford’s portal: https://abilityadvantage.thehartford.com
    • Beginning Jan. 2, 2024 at 888-301-5615 (Monday – Friday 6 a.m.-6 p.m.)
    • Please do not contact The Hartford prior to Jan. 1, 2024.

If you are on an approved FML leave that began in 2023 but extends into 2024, The Hartford will check in with you when it’s time for your approved leave to end. If you need to request an extension to that leave, please contact The Hartford after Jan. 1 to request an extension.  

If you have questions, please visit The Hartford portal and/or reach out to Gina Lujan, our Benefits Manager, at elujan@coloradocollege.edu or 719-389-6104, for help with the various leave options available to you. 

These enhanced leave benefits are offered to help you balance work and your personal life, and provide a safety net for the personal challenges we face when we or our loved ones aren’t well. We hope these enhanced benefits help you and your loved ones have a healthy year.
