To provide the time you need for recovery.
Depending on your unique situation, when you need to care for your own serious medical condition, you may take job-protected leave through FMLA and Supplemental Medical Leave. Short-term disability ensures you have income replacement during this time.
FMLA provides up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave for certain situations including if you need to care for your own serious medical condition. You may need to take your leave in intervals rather than one continuous block of time off. This is known as intermittent leave. On its own, this leave is considered unpaid.
Supplemental Medical Leave provides eligible Associates an additional 14 weeks of job-protected leave if you’ve exhausted FMLA or if you do not qualify for FMLA. On its own, this leave is considered unpaid.
If you experience a covered illness or injury, STD provides up to 7 weeks of full income replacement after a one-week waiting period, followed by 75% income replacement for the remainder of your approved STD period, up to a total of 26 weeks. During the initial one-week waiting period, the HR Benefits Team will apply unused sick/vacation time. If available, STD Leave runs concurrently with FMLA or Supplemental Medical Leave. If your disability lasts longer than 26 weeks, you may be eligible for Long-Term Disability.
During paid leaves including STD, your paycheck, health benefits, 401(k) deductions, and vacation accrual will continue. Your leave may impact other benefits such as variable compensation (VC) and Sales Incentive (SI), if eligible.

Some states provide leave benefits that you may be entitled to. When you file a leave claim, Unum will let you know if you are eligible for any state benefits. If applicable, you’ll need to file a claim directly with your state. Company-provided leave benefits are generally offset by statutory benefits and run concurrently. You should review the Leaves of Absence and Other Time Off Policy for additional information.
The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for a variety of circumstances. You’re eligible for FMLA if you have worked for at least 12 months and have worked 1,250 hours during the previous 12-month period. FMLA is taken concurrently with other types of leave. If you have exhausted FMLA or are not yet eligible for FMLA, you may be eligible for job protection through Supplemental Medical Leave.
