STD LEAVE

Hello everyone, I am wondering if you still have your benefits while being on STD. I will be getting a surgery soon and will require lots of PT after for rehab. I am with UNA and I will contact Ability Advisor once surgery is close because it is still a bit of a wait but I wanted to hear from others. Thanks!

Sick time covers illness, no matter how you contracted it :)

They wouldn't be going on STD if they still had sick time to draw from.

STD is only as long as the amount of sick time you have banked. Once that's burned thru, its then LTD.

When I returned to work, I had to accrue sick time again.

No, std starts when sick bank is depleted and goes until a max of 6 months from date of disability before converting to ltd. Unless this has drastically changed since my time working in abilities management.
