USC offers generous time off policies, leaves, health plans and insurance options, and well-being resources for its faculty and staff. As a manager, it’s important to continually remind your team members about what’s available to them as employees of USC.

The Employee Gateway Benefits & perks section provides detailed information on these, and it is a resource available for you and your team members.

In the case of the unexpected, familiarize yourself with disability insurance, workers’ compensation, and the Injury and Illness Prevention policy. Should one of your employees be injured on the job, carefully review the workers’ compensation page and properly complete a Manager’s Incident Report to initiate the process.

Also, encourage your employees to use their time off and be sure you consider the needs of the overall unit when approving time off requests.
