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.
In many cases, short-term disability plans provide you with income payments equal to 60 percent of your base salary. Under the FMLA you can miss up to 12 weeks from work per calendar year. You can take 12 consecutive weeks off work, or you can take intermittent days off over the course of the year. Your employer might require you to provide 30 days advance notice before taking a leave of absence.
