Long Term Disability Insurance

(effective 9/1/07)

Long-Term Disability (LTD):
Lesley provides benefits-eligible employees with a Long Term Disability Plan. The benefits are meant to partially replace your income when you cannot perform the essential core duties of your position for a period due to extended illness or injury. If approved, an employee receives 60% of base salary up to a maximum of $9,000 per month. The elimination period (the amount of time you must be out of work before benefits begin) is 90 days.

While on Long Term Disability no paid time off accrues.

In addition, an employee approved for LTD will not receive a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) to their base wage until they return to active status. The LTD wage is calculated on the compensation at the time of leave from employment.
