counted against an employee’s 12-week FMLA entitlement. During
this time, all FMLA job protections apply. Insurance beneits will
continue during the short term disability time frame. Insurance beneits
will continue; however, you will be responsible for your portion of
the beneit premium (if applicable). After the short term disability

disability is provided until said employee has returned to work and been
on the active payroll for a period of one year.
