Short-term disability typically is defined as a medical condition, illness or injury that leaves an employee unable to work for a limited period, usually 12 weeks or less. Workers' compensation is an option for employees who are injured or disabled on the job. The program is mandated by federal law and administered at the state level. It is a form of insurance that provides financial assistance, medical care and other benefits during a short-term disability or illness. Most employees are required to use any accrued sick or annual leave before becoming eligible for federal or state programs.
