Oh you got bone cancer - well say goodbye to that month of vacation time you saved up for 2 years, and start begging for PTO donations. There are better ways to handle it, as has been discussed. |

Right but as we know, no one ever thinks they're going to get sick or have a major car accident or w/e. I think if you're going to create a PTO-based system, then short-term disability should just come folded in to that imo. Like how workers' comp works.
I work for a university that still has vacation time and sick time split out. I'm not sure what happens if I use up my sick time to be honest. But I'm glad to know it won't destroy the vacation time I saved up. Or at least I don't think it will - maybe I should look into that. |

I'm still not following. I've never had to pay for it, if that's what you're getting at.

Well apparently not all companies work like that.

I don't even think the policy at Rain Man, Inc. (not there these days, but I managed some of that stuff) allows for individual employees to opt out. It's an all or nothing thing. As RM alluded to earlier, it's like $5/month/employee for both STD and LTD, so it's pretty easy to throw it in.
According to SHRM, 78% of employers offer it, though they don't clarify if some employers somehow make employees pay for it. |

I think we have to give up 40 hours of PTO (if available) before STD kicks in
