The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and short-term disability often work hand in hand. FMLA allows an employee to take up to 12 weeks off in a 12-month period due to specific medical reasons. The employee is not paid for this time unless accrued paid time off is used, such as sick or vacation pay. Short-term disability, on the other hand, pays a percentage of your regular salary while you are out.
A typical waiting period for short-term disability benefits is 15 days, but may be shorter or longer, depending upon an employerâs sick leave plan. Waiting periods for long-term disability plans usually start 30 to 180 days after the disability occurs. Itâs best to coordinate coverage so that once any sick pay and short-term disability benefits have been exhausted, long-term disability benefits start immediately.
