what is a short-term disability leave agreement?

a short-term disability leave agreement is an agreement between an employer and employee that grants a temporary leave of absence to the employee for a specific period of time to manage personal or family emergencies, injuries, or illnesses. these agreements can help protect everyone involved, including the employee, employer, and other workers. they also make it easier for the business to adjust when an employee has to take time off.

a short-term disability leave agreement typically defines the terms and conditions that the employee needs to fulfill during their absence, as well as the compensation and other benefits they are entitled to during the specified period. this agreement ensures that both the employer and employee are aware of their responsibilities and can plan accordingly during the leave of absence.

when to use a short-term disability leave agreement:

  • you're an employer and want to have documents in place in case of emergency.
  • your employee needs to take leave of absence from work for a specific period and you want to set out the conditions for such absence.
  • you want to take leave of absence from work and want to request that your job be retained during your absence.
