Employer Options for Disability Benefits
While employees can secure their own personal disability insurance, businesses that include disability insurance in their employee benefits package often find that it attracts and retains talented staff while protecting them in case they’re unable to work.
What Is Disability Insurance?
Disability insurance provides financial support to employees of your business who are unable to work due to illness or injury. Usually, the payout amounts to around 60% of their regular salary and is frequently given as tax-free income.
When selecting a plan for your employees, policies provide them with short-term coverage, typically lasting up to six months, or long-term coverage that can extend for several years or even until retirement age.
There are additional disability insurance options available that provide payments specifically designed to cover an employee’s mortgage or other loans.
How Are Disability Benefits Different from Workers’ Comp?

Disability benefits provide a lump-sum payment if a person is diagnosed with a critical illness such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke. It covers the costs of medical treatment, lost wages, and other expenses.
Workers’ Comp
Giving Your Staff Time to Recover
This helps ensure that employees return to work appropriately rather than before fully recovering. Doing so could worsen their condition and prolong their recovery in the long run.
