Short Term Disability

Short-term disability is meant to cover your salary — or a portion of it — during the time that you’re unable to do your job due to illness, injury, or childbirth. Short duration disabilities are more common than long term disabilities and are costly to employers both in lost productivity and actual expenses, especially if an employer currently has a salary continuance plan for short-term absences.
