Disability Benefits
At Plexus, we want to do all we can to help you protect your financial security. That’s why we provide disability benefits, administered by Unum, to replace a portion of your income if you find yourself unable to work due to injury or illness.
Short-Term Disability (STD): You are eligible for STD coverage the first of the month following 90 days of employment. Plexus pays 100% of the premium and automatically enrolls you once you’ve met the eligibility period. The plan provides 100% of regular pay for the first 8 weeks and 60% for weeks 9 through 26.*
- STD benefits begin after you miss work due to illness or injury for 7 consecutive days.
- For hospitalization or surgery, STD benefits begin on the first day.
- After 26 weeks, you may be eligible for Long-Term Disability benefits (see below).
- Refer to the STD Summary Plan Description for more details.
*The length of time you receive STD and/or LTD benefits is dependent upon medical certification by your healthcare provider and governed by the terms of the plan(s) as stated in their respective plan document(s).
Long-Term Disability (LTD): Similar to STD, you are eligible for LTD the first of the month following 90 days of employment. Plexus also pays 100% of the premium and automatically enrolls you once you’ve met the eligibility period.
- LTD benefits are paid in the event of a long-term illness or injury that prevents you from working.
- Benefits begin after you have been unable to work due to a qualifying disability for 180 days.
- The plan provides a benefit of up to 60% of regular pay to a maximum of $12,000/month.*
- Payments continue as long as you remain disabled as defined by the LTD plan.*
For details, see the Summary Plan Description below.
*The length of time you receive STD and/or LTD benefits is dependent upon medical certification by your healthcare provider and governed by the terms of the plan(s) as stated in their respective plan document(s).
