Bonnie, At Purdue University, short-term disability insurance is only offered to staff who are classified as clerical or service. They are eligible to elect it after one year of service.
Faculty, lecturers, and administrative and professional staff are not offered short-term disability because of the paid sick leave they are provided (clerical and service staff have different sick leave). The sick leave benefit has a maximum allowance and rate of pay for a full-time employees as follows: * Less than one year of continuous service: one hundred percent of the employee's salary for ten workdays (i.e., eighty hours) during a twelve-month period. * One year but less than two years of continuous service: one hundred percent of the employee's salary for twenty-two workdays (i.e., 176 hours) and seventy-five percent of his/her salary for twenty-two workdays (i.e., 176 hours) during a twelve-month period. * Two years but less than three years of continuous service: one hundred percent of the employee's salary for forty-four workdays (i.e., 352 hours) and seventy-five percent of his/her salary for forty-four workdays (i.e., 352 hours) during a twelve-month period. * Three or more years of continuous service: one hundred percent of the employee's salary for sixty-six workdays (i.e., 528 hours) and seventy-five percent of his/her salary for sixty-six workdays (i.e., 528 hours) during a twelve-month period.
