- Question
- If an employee is quarantined due to coronavirus, is it considered a medically supported absence under the short-term disability (STD) policy?
- Answer
-
If an employee is unable to work due to symptoms of or tests positive for COVID-19, your employee might be eligible to receive STD benefits in accordance with the policy benefit. Note that self-quarantine or self-isolation minus illness are not qualifying factors. Illness is the determining factor to receiving the STD benefit.
