Lorman Education Services

Dive into the details surrounding an effective implementation of short-term disability plans.

Many employers are struggling to acquire and maintain productive employees to keep their operations afloat. Employers are offering new-age benefits to incentivize candidates to work for them. However, time-tested benefit programs such as Short-Term Disability Plans are often overlooked or, if an employer already utilizes the benefit, ineffectively administered where neither the employee nor the employer receive the full value of the Plan.

This topic will dive into the implementation of STD Plans, including a discussion regarding the necessary documentation and administrative processes that will protect your workforce and get your people back to work as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Learning Objectives:

• You will be able to define disability for purposes of short-term disability compared with other leave laws.
• You will be able to describe the coordination of other leave policies and laws with your short-term disability plan.
• You will be able to explain to your employees what is required of them in order to take full advantage of the benefit.
• You will be able to identify the key documents necessary to successfully and efficiently administer a short-term disability plan.
