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.
Short-Term Disability and Coverage Options. 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.
