Disability Insurance
Short Term Disability Insurance
Participant coverage (taxable or non-taxable)
Provides an employee who is unable to work due to an accident or an illness not covered by his provincial health insurance program (Provincial Automobile Insurance Plan & Workers’ Compensation) with a percentage of his weekly salary. Payments may last from 15 to 104 weeks with benefits subject to tax laws.
Coverage in addition to Employment Insurance Benefits (taxable or non-taxable)
Insurance may be combined with Canada’s Employment Insurance Benefits. Benefits paid are subject to taxation laws in effect.
Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB)
Canada Employment Insurance benefits can also be upgraded with the Unemployment Supplemental Benefit Program (SUB) offered at no extra cost to the employer. Benefits are taxable.
