CCS’s short-term disability plan is an income protection plan for eligible employees and does not guarantee a job, or any particular job, following an absence. If, however, an employee has a serious health condition and is eligible for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the employee may be simultaneously entitled to up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave under the FMLA and income benefits under this short-term disability policy.
