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.
