What are the benefits of participating in the secondary placement program?
The program provides vocational guidance to the employee as well as continuation of salary. Once vocational assessment (based upon the employee’s aptitudes, disability, education, interests and work history) is completed, secondary employment, which may lead to an alternative career path with earnings greater that those of the primary job class, is provided. In addition, the program provides continuation of health and life insurance benefits to those working or awaiting placement. Employees working secondary jobs will receive sick leave benefits available to regular employees who work in that particular job class. Employees who participate in the placement program will also receive supplementary pay ( Reg. 32.062 ).
