Short term disability insurance is a type of insurance that provides income protection to employees who are unable to work for a temporary period of time due to an illness or injury. It is often sponsored by the employer, who may cover the cost or offer it as an optional benefit for employees to purchase.
This insurance typically covers a portion of the employee's income, usually a percentage of their salary, during the time they are unable to work. It may also cover certain medical costs related to the illness or injury.
Short term disability insurance is designed to provide financial support to employees during the initial period of their disability, usually for a few weeks or months. It is different from long term disability insurance, which provides coverage for a longer duration, typically after the short term disability benefits have ended.
It is important to note that the specific terms and conditions of short term disability insurance can vary depending on the insurance provider and the employer's plan. Employees should review the policy and understand the details, including any waiting period, maximum benefit period, and the percentage of income covered.
