Short Disability Benefits Clause Samples
The Short Disability Benefits clause defines the terms under which an employee is entitled to receive compensation if they are temporarily unable to work due to a non-work-related illness or injury. Typically, this clause outlines the duration of benefits, the percentage of salary paid, and any waiting periods before benefits begin. For example, an employee might receive a portion of their regular pay for a set number of weeks while recovering from surgery.
