Short-Term Disability

Jones Fuel Co. has a short-term disability (STD) benefits program for eligible employees. STD benefits are paid to eligible employees who cannot work because of qualifying disability conditions caused by an injury or illness.

Employees in the following employment classifications are eligible for the STD plan:

* Regular full-time employees

Eligible employees may participate in the STD plan subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement between Jones Fuel Co. and its insurance carrier. If the disability comes from being pregnant or a pregnancy-related illness, it will be treated the same as any other illness that prevents an employee from working.

If the disability is covered by workers' compensation, it is not covered by the STD plan.

Schedule of benefits:

After a 15 day waiting period for qualified illness or injury:

$300 per week gross pay for up to 26 weeks. You may continue your health insurance coverage during this time.

There are more details in the STD Summary Plan Description including how much can be paid and when, the limits, the restrictions, and what is not covered. If you have questions about STD benefits, contact the Personnel Director for more information.
