Benefits Think Why advisers must make the vital connection between paid leave and short-term disability

Published Updated 5 Min Read

  • What are your goals and objectives for your paid time off programs?
  • If it’s a PTO plan, how much PTO do you expect employees to use before short-term disability kicks in, if any?
  • Do you want sick pay to be coordinated with your short-term disability benefits?
  • For sick pay plans, are your employees expected to exhaust all of their sick leave before the short-term disability kicks in, or just a set number of days?
  • Make sure they have a vision for how they want paid leave programs to work.
  • Review paid leave programs and short-term disability benefits to make sure they’re working as expected.
