Protect Your Income
If you become temporarily disabled and can’t work due to illness or injury, Aristocrat provides you with Short-Term Disability (STD) income coverage. STD gives you income replacement if you are sick or injured and need time off work to recover. The STD plan provides 66.67% of your weekly salary, to a maximum of $2,000 per week for up to 16 weeks. Be aware that this benefit is taxable. Benefits begin on the first day you miss work because of an accident or hospitalization, and on the seventh day you miss work because of an illness. You are automatically covered under the STD plan.
This benefit will end once you reach age 71 or retire, whichever is first.
