Frequently Asked Questions
Are employee benefits taxable?
In the case of Disability insurances, it depends on who pays the premium and the structure of the policy. In general, insurances paid by the company are considered to be part of ‘the cost of doing business’. Benefits, when paid, may be subject to individual taxes.
Will employees receive 100% of their pay while they are unable to work?
Employees will receive a percentage of their pre-disability pay (e.g. 70%). They will need to file a claim and meet the insurer’s definition of disability. There may be an elimination period of up to eight days. Thereafter benefit payments will normally be paid weekly by check or transfer.
What happens if an employee returns to work but is not able to assume their pre-disability duties?
Depending on the terms of the contract they may qualify for continuing benefits.
