Disability Coverage
Stryker provides short-term disability (STD) and long-term disability (LTD) coverage through The Hartford. Disability coverage offers you income protection in case a sickness, injury, or pregnancy, leaves you unable to work.
STD Benefits and Employment Status
Your STD benefits are based on whether you are an exempt or non-exempt employee. Generally, you are considered:
-
Exempt if you are not eligible for and do not receive overtime pay
-
Non-exempt if you are entitled to receive overtime pay
This section of the Stryker Benefits Summary provides an overview of your short-term and long-term disability benefits.
For more information about the STD plan, refer to the applicable benefits booklet as shown here:
Together, this section of the Stryker Benefits Summary and the STD booklets and LTD Certificate of Insurance issued by The Hartford constitute the Summary Plan Description for these plans.
