Whether you suddenly become ill or injured, or you're planning surgery or child birth, you'll need to know the basics of BMC's short-term disability benefits and family medical leave policy.
The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Short-Term Disability (STD) program work hand-in-hand. FMLA allows you to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave in a 12-month period due to certain family and health related reasons or your own serious health problem. STD, on the other hand, pays a percentage of your regular salary if you are unable to work due to an illness, injury or pregnancy. FMLA and STD run concurrently.
BMC provides STD coverage at no cost to you. BMC pays for the first five days of your illness-related absence, and the remaining STD benefits are paid to you directly from Liberty Mutual, BMC’s disability and FMLA administrator. If your leave is approved, you receive 100% of your base salary for weeks two and three, 75% for weeks four to six, and 66 2/3% for weeks seven through 26.
During an unpaid FMLA leave of absence you must use any accrued PTO before to going into an unpaid status.
