Short-Term Disability (STD) Insurance is offered to Full-Time Hourly employees.  This insurance pays you when you are unable to work due to an injury or illness.

This benefit pays:

  • 50% of your hourly rate of pay, up to a maximum of $900/week
  • Up to 13 weeks of disability
  • on the first day of the accident or the 4th day of illness

The cost is based on an employee’s hourly pay rate. If you didn’t sign up for STD insurance during your new hire orientation period, you can enroll during the annual open enrollment period.

Long-Term Disability (LTD) Insurance is offered to our salaried and hourly employees.
