Short-Term Disability (STD) Insurance

Non-exempt (hourly) employees automatically receive a core STD benefit of 50% of your weekly base pay up a $150 weekly maximum. You can also purchase supplemental coverage of:

• 50% of your weekly base pay up to a $500 weekly maximum, or
• 60% of your weekly base pay up to a $1,000 weekly maximum.

Important information if you live in CA, NY, HI, RI, NJ or any other state with a state disability program:

• California employees receive STD benefits through the state disability program instead of Hertz.
• New York employees may purchase STD coverage to supplement the $170 weekly maximum benefit provided by the state disability program.
• Hawaii, Rhode Island, and New Jersey employees may purchase the 60% option to supplement your state disability program.
• If you live in a state with a state disability program, you are responsible for initiating your claim with the state program in addition to or instead of Hertz disability coverage.

Exempt (salaried) employees are eligible to receive a salary continuation benefit for approved disability leaves. Salary continuation benefits consist of full base pay for a specified period of time, and then partial (half) base pay for a specified period of time, depending upon your length of service with the company. The policy is available at hertz.policytech.com.

Salary continuation benefits are integrated with state disability insurance benefits.

A “pre-existing condition” is a sickness or accidental injury in the three months before your coverage takes effect for which you:

• received treatment, consultation, care, or services, or
• took prescription medication or had medications prescribed.

The Hartford will not pay benefits for a disability resulting from a pre-existing condition until you have been actively at work for 12 consecutive months after your coverage takes effect.
