Short term disability (STD) pays a percentage of your salary if you become temporarily disabled, meaning that you are not able to work for a short period of time due to sickness or injury (excluding on-the-job injuries, which are covered by workers compensation insurance).
AdvanStaff HR’s voluntary short term disability option is 100% paid by the employee via payroll deduction. Weekly benefit amounts are purchased in $50 increments (minimum of $100) and a maximum of $1,000, or 60% of Predisability Earnings, whichever is less.
