Short-Term Disability
Zebra provides a Short-Term Disability insurance benefit at no cost to all eligible regular Zebra employees working in the U.S. Short-Term Disability provides income protection if you are unable to work due to a non-work-related illness or injury.
The first five consecutive business days of a disability is considered a waiting period. You may use PTO and any remaining floating holidays for this period.
Short-Term Disability is available for a maximum of 26 weeks per disability. Salary continuation applies week two through week six and equals 100 percent of base pay. Salary continuation for weeks seven through 26 is 60 percent of your base pay. When Short-Term Disability payments are at the 60 percent level, you can use accrued vacation time to increase pay to 100 percent.
Benefits end when any of the following conditions apply:
- You are determined to be medically able to return to work.
- You are no longer under the care of a physician.
- You have received the maximum benefits provided.
- You are no longer eligible.
