Algoma University is committed to providing the highest level of service to its students and the community. All employees of Algoma University contribute to this objective and regular attendance at work is critical. It is the objective of Algoma University to promote and support employees in attending work on a regular basis.

At Algoma University we understand that recovery from an illness or injury can be hastened by a gradual resumption of work duties. A modified work program is designed to bring employees back to work in a supportive manner following an illness or injury. Where possible an employee’s restrictions are accommodated to enable their return to work during recovery. A modified work program may include a reduction in hours and/or duties. At Algoma, we work together to ensure a safe return to work for all employees.

For more information on the return to work process, please consult the Return to Work Policy and Procedure.

Algoma University’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is designed to offer a voluntary, confidential short-term counseling and advisory support service to all staff who may be experiencing situations that affect their well-being, work performance, health, and family life. This program also extends to spouses and dependent children of staff. Please contact [email protected] for information on how to access this service.

All members of the Bargaining Unit, Administrative Staff, and Faculty receive 50 percent off of their GLC membership, which can be deducted from payroll.
