Dakota Capital Group Short-Term Disability Insurance Overview
What is Short-Term Disability Insurance?
Short-term disability insurance effectively replaces part of an employee’s income if they are unable to work because of an illness or accident. The benefit typically pays the employee between 60 to 66.6% of their employee’s salary.
Benefits typically become effective 1 to 21 days after an illness or accident occurs, and may continue for 13 to 26 weeks. Premiums for a short-term disability policy can be paid by either the employer or the employee.
If you can help protect your employees’ incomes, you’re also protecting your investment in them. Short-term disability insurance helps employee security and loyalty, and improves satisfaction at work.
These are some examples of conditions that may qualify an employee for short-term disability benefits:
- Injury
