Short-term disability insurance covers an employee’s compensation for a short period of time in the event that they are unable to perform their job duties due to serious medical conditions, such as an injury or illness. Long-term disability insurance also protects an employee's compensation, covering roughly 60% of their gross monthly income for an extended period of time. In contrast to short-term disability, long-term disability is awarded to those who cannot perform any job, not just their current one.
