I'd like to get an idea of how other companies handle Short- and Long-Term Disability insurance. If these policies are offered, does your company: (1) provide and pay for these policies as a benefit to employees, (2) fund one policy and let employees purchase a supplemental policy for the other, (3) offer one or both policies as elective, employee-funded supplemental policies?
My employer (GC) currently self-funds Short-Term Disability for 13 weeks with a certain number of weeks at full pay based on the employee's years of service and remaining weeks at 60% pay. We also pay for a Long-Term Disability insurance policy which covers all employees.
