SHORT-TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE

Short-Term Disability (STD) Insurance is an Employer paid benefit provided to all "full-time regular" employees who are unable to work because of a qualifying disability due to an injury or illness. Short-Term Disability Insurance provides income protection in the event you become disabled and are unable to work due to sickness or non-occupational injury, including pregnancy, for a short period of time.

SHORT-TERM DISABILITY (STD) INSURANCE BENEFITS FOR A QUALIFYING DISABILITY (ILLNESS OR INJURY)

- - Pays 66 2/3% of your salary (up to a maximum of $750.00) per week
  - STD may provide up to 26 weeks of coverage, depending upon the qualifying disability
  - Zero-day (0) waiting period in the event of an accident
  - Seven-day (7) waiting period in the case of an illness. An employee must use vacation and/or personal time to cover this period of loss
