Disability Management

Employee protection

Disability protection is undoubtedly among the most valuable of employee benefits. There are public sector programs such as workers' compensation, social security disability, veterans' benefits, etc... and there are the disability benefits offered by many private employers. Many private employer-sponsored group disability plans are integrated with public programs. The income replacement remitted under private plans usually reflects income replacement that was not available from public programs or is an addition to payments received under public programs.

Major approaches

There are three major benefit approaches in the private sector to address group disability concerns:

  1. Sick leave;
  2. Short-term disability STD); and
  3. Long-term disability (LTD).
The first two types are typically handled and funded by the employer. The third, LTD, can be funded through a policy, self-funded or a combination of both.

Our specific services

We can:

  • Create / re-design a disability program that integrates sick leave, STD and LTD so that they work together
  • Assist in establishing replacement ratios for STD and LTD benefits
  • Assist in understanding the taxation structures for LTD benefits which can improve voluntary participation and lower employer costs
  • Assist in determining risks in self-funding LTD benefits
  • Assist in shopping the market for LTD benefits
