Group Short-Term Disability
Group short-term disability is the short-term disability insurance offered through an organization to its members.
Short Term disability insurance policies help provide income protection for a portion of your wages. Income protection only occurs though if you meet the policy's criteria and are unable to work any longer.
The financial protection is typically up to 70% of your job's wages for a short period of time.
