BJC provides eligible employees short-term and long-term disability benefits, administered by Lincoln Financial Group, to help replace some of the income they would lose while disabled.
Short-Term Disability (STD)
Full-time and part-time employees: BJC provides STD coverage that pays 60 percent of your weekly earnings, up to $2,500 per week for 25 weeks (or 180 days), after you complete six months of employment with BJC.
Long-Term Disability (LTD)
Full-time employees: BJC provides LTD coverage that pays 60 percent of your monthly earnings, up to $10,000 per month. For approved claims, coverage begins when STD ends. Part-time employees are eligible to purchase LTD coverage after six months of BJC service. The cost of this coverage is an after-tax, per-pay-period deduction, based on 26 pay periods a year.
To calculate your bi-weekly premium, determine your annual base pay and take that amount and divide by 100. Multiply by the age rate from the table and divide by 26 (paychecks).
Example: Part-time employee > 6 months of service, age 45 with base pay of $20,000:
$20,000 ÷ 100 = $200 X 1.024 = $204.80 ÷ 26 = $7.88 per paycheck
