State Specific Leaves

Many states have additional state-specific laws regarding leaves of absence.  Employees must file a claim with Unum as well as their state for any state leave request.  The eligibility and benefit amounts are determined by the state and benefits received by the state will run concurrently and offset any CoorsTek leaves, where applicable by law.

If you are eligible for any state leave, you must apply for any leave available to you.  please review the:

Disability Insurance

CoorsTek is pleased to provide short-term and long-term disability insurance through Unum at no cost to you. Disability Insurance is subject to a pre-existing condition waiting period. Benefits will not be paid for any disability, including maternity, for which you received medical treatment, care, or consultation, including diagnostic measures or took prescribed drugs or medications during the three months preceding your effective date under this policy. A disability arising from any such injury or sickness will be covered only if it begins twelve months after the effective date of this policy. Please review the plan documents for more information.

Short-Term Disability Insurance

Eligible employees are automatically enrolled in short-term disability (STD) coverage on the first day of the month following date of hire.

If you are unable to work due to an illness or a non-work-related injury, you may receive a benefit for up to 180 calendar days. If you expect to have an absence exceeding three calendar days due to an illness or injury you may be eligible for STD benefits. There is a three-day waiting period before STD benefits begin. You may use PTO during the waiting period, if available. Unum provides the STD claim administration and determines if you are eligible for STD based on supporting medical documentation. Your benefits may be subject to an offset based on other disability benefits.

 

Long-Term Disability Insurance

Eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the long-term disability (LTD) plan on the first day of the month following date of hire. If you are eligible for LTD, benefits under the LTD plan may begin if you remain totally disabled after 26 weeks (180 calendar days of STD). If you are eligible for LTD, your employment may be terminated, and you would be offered health benefit options under COBRA.
