(A) Employees who have completed at least one full year (12 months) of employment with the County are eligible for up to 12 weeks of short term disability. This benefit provides an employee who is unable to work (due to other than a work related injury) $100.00 per week during the absence (not to exceed 12 weeks). If the absence also qualifies for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, the short term disability benefits will be paid congruent to any non-paid leave (it will not be paid for those periods covered by vacation or sick time.
(B) In the event that an employee does not use his/her entire allotment of disability leave during an approved FMLA leave, that employee retains the unused balance of disability leave for the remainder of that calendar year. Unused leave does not "rollover" to subsequent years.
