Professor, I'll ask again because I still haven't received a clear answer. Is any part of sick leave administration going to be handled by Sedgwick, or another third party, and if so, what?

I'm asking for a couple of reasons. First, this has been claimed by some on this and other forums. Secondly, another poster claimed Dr. Faulkner has refused to perform this expanded role in his DHS capacity. Lastly, the "Health Services Department" as it currently exists can't possibly be currently staffed to handle this larger role.

I believe, but may be wrong, that the Delta Employee Service Center is actually a third party and not Delta employees. In fact, when I log on the Delta ESS page on DeltaNet it says Xerox Business Services at the bottom of the web page.

I can envision the "Health Services Department" being presented similarly as a "Delta" department, but actually run by a third party such as Sedgwick. All this is conjecture on my part and I'm looking for clarification. I don't know squat about Sedgwick but what I'm reading here and elsewhere is not very comforting.
