Short Term Disability coverage is designed to assist those who need an extended leave of absence due to illness or injury which is NON-WORK related. It assumes that all illness or sick days have been used. An employee is eligible to collect LTD after 180 days of disability. Examples are, but not limited to, eyeglasses, contact lenses, vision testing, blood pressure and cholesterol tests. As a participant in Edison's retirement plan, employees can save for their futures conveniently and regularly.
Eligibility begins on the date of hire for full-time employees.
The IRS places a dollar limit on the amount of the employee's tax deferred contributions to the Plan each calendar year. There is a one month eligibility waiting period for some programs. Personal days must be approved in accordance with established guidelines procedures by the Principal. All requests for leaves of absence without pay other than those under the FMLA will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Leaves of absence may be granted with approval of both the Principal and the Charter School's Board of Trustees.
