Short-Term Disability

Approved by the Board of Directors September 9, 2003 as an addition to Section C of the manual Personnel Policies for Non-Ministerial Paid Staff


If an employee, other than a temporary or informal employee, who has worked for the Church for a year or more, becomes disabled (unable to perform the essential duties of his/her job) for a period longer than is covered by his/her unused sick leave, his/her compensation shall be continued, for up to 90 days from the onset of the disability, at 80% of his/her pre-disability salary (recent average pay in the case of an hourly employee), less the total of any State Disability Insurance (SDI), Workers' Compensation (W/C) disability income, and any other disability benefits (public or private) to which he/she may be entitled based on his/her Church employment. It is the employee's responsibility to apply for SDI, W/C, and any other disability benefits to which he/she may be so entitled.

For employees who have worked for the Church for over 90 days and less than a year, the above benefit shall apply with a maximum period of compensation continuation equal to 90 days times the ratio of [the time they have worked for the Church] to [one year].
