Instructor and Hourly Positions
Medical insurance is offered to instructors and other variable-hour employees who have worked, on average, at least 30 hours per week in a 12-month period. ACC / CCCS uses an initial 12-month measurement period to determine medical benefit eligibility and a 12-month standard measurement period. Hourly staff generally do not meet this average since hourly staff cannot work more than 28 hours each week. Additional information can be found within BP 3-10 and at the CCCS Employee Benefits site under “Instructor & Variable Hour Employee Benefit Information.”
Sick leave is granted in accordance with SB20-205, Sick Leave for Employees, accrued at one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, up to a maximum of 48 hours per year.

Student Hourly Positions
Student employees are not eligible for medical insurance benefits through ACC/CCCS. Student employees are enrolled and contribute to a TIAA-CREF account when enrolled in less than six credits at ACC.
