Short term disability and FMLA are two distinct entities, although both may apply when an employee needs to take leave.
Short term disability is an insurance program that replaces a portion of income when an employee is unable to work due to a covered accident or illness. Five states have mandatory programs, some employers pay premiums on behalf of employees, and many employees purchase policies at work and pay through a payroll deduction.
FMLA is a federal law which provides unpaid job protected leave for an employees own disability, or when leaving work to care for a sick family member.
