8.1 Fitness Room, Gym & Pool
During the academic year, faculty may use the athletic facilities when not being used by Physical Education classes or athletic teams. The Tiernan Field House at Scripps College is also open to CMC faculty. Notices regarding recreational swimming at CMC and Scripps pools are sent to each faculty member at the beginning of the school year by the Physical Education department.
8.2 Fringe Benefits
CMC offers a full range of fringe benefits for employees and their families, including health, dental, disability, and life insurance; retirement plans from TIAA-CREF; supplemental retirement plans; enrollment in the Emeriti health savings account program, and flexible spending accounts for health or dependent care expenses. Details are available from the Human Resources office (call ext. 18490) or please visit the Human Resources website.
8.3 Lunch Meetings
The College will provide one lunch a week taken by faculty at Collins Dining Hall. The meals are given with the understanding that they will be used as a means of meeting with students or colleagues. To obtain free meals, faculty must use their CMC faculty identification card at the entry to Collins Hall.
8.4 Rental Housing
Although housing is the responsibility of the individual faculty member, a local real estate office maintains a file of College-owned houses and other available residences for faculty and staff who are interested in renting College-owned housing. For further information, contact the Business Office (call ext. 18116).
8.5 Rideshare Program
The College participates in an air quality program that encourages employees to use alternative modes of transportation in arriving to work.
Full-time employees who walk, bicycle, use public transportation, or rideshare to work are offered $1.50 per workday, Monday - Friday. A monthly on-line form is available, see “TRiP Incentive Newsletter/Memo”, for all employees who have access to a computer. Print the form, fill it out, and send it to Human Resources, 528 Mills Avenue. The rideshare subsidy will be added to the last paycheck of each month.
- Benefits-eligible employees who participate in ridesharing can be reimbursed $1.50/day plus up to $60/month for public transportation such as Metrolink or the bus. Rideshare incentives are considered taxable income.
- Ridesharing can only be counted as such if it occurs during the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday. These hours are the “peak” transportation hours according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).
- Ridesharing counts only when driving to the CMC campus - carpooling to work-related events off site does not count toward the $1.50 reimbursement. One of the goals is to reduce the number of cars on campus.
- Dropping off children at school in the morning between 6 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Monday through Friday counts as ridesharing only if the distance to school is at least 50% or more of the commute to CMC.
8.6 Salary Checks
Salary checks are issued on the 26th of each month. If the 26th is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, paychecks will be distributed on the last working day before the 26th. Arrangements for direct deposit can be made through Payroll in the Business Office.
