FMLA - Family Medical Leave Act

  • The FMLA entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave.

    Read more about the FMLA on the U.S. Department of Labor website.

Compliance Training

What is Mandatory Compliance Training

State and federal regulations require that all school district employees complete mandatory compliance training every year on a variety of topics. The list of required topics has been recently updated to include:

Bloodborne Pathogens, Hazard Communications, Menthal Illness Awareness for Educators, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Harassment for Students, Suicide Prevention (to be completed by September 30, 2019).

Confidentiality, General Harassment and School Safety (to be completed by October 31, 2019).

The compliance training associated with these topics is intended to provide employees with information to promote a safe and healthy work environment. While all employees must complete compliance training annually on the topics listed above, the District may also require that certain employee groups complete training related to other topics that are relevant to their work responsibilities.

How will faculty and staff members complete the compliance training?

GCN provides online training tutorials that employees can complete using any computer that has an internet connection, internal or external speakers, and the latest version of Adobe Macromedia Flashplayer™. Employees will log into the GCN web site and complete the required training tutorials according to the deadlines established by the Office of Human Resources. The time needed to complete each online tutorial varies from 7 to 30 minutes, and employees may complete the required tutorials in one session or in separate sessions.
