Welcome to my blog and thanks for posting.
...Hi G! Welcome to my blog and thanks for posting.<br /><br />Sounds like CT is one of the family-friendlier employers in the US. I completely agree that STD should be made much more user friendly. It was quite the maze when I had to navigate it. Unfortunately, it's not mandatory in the US, and even my friends who work for our federal Gov't don't use it (not sure if it's cause it's unavailable to them, or because it was too complicated). Either way, I hope more private companies and state/federal governments follow CT's lead and offer more options.Milyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00277675774630639520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1756564337215932200.post-81822889368588473782009-09-02T17:34:28.479-04:002009-09-02T17:34:28.479-04:00Interesting that you should mention short term dis...Interesting that you should mention short term disability insurance.<br /><br />My employer (state of CT) offers a couple different types for their employees.<br /><br />I think more people would take advantage of the insuranc if it wasn't so difficult to actually use when you needed it. It would definitely be worth it, because if you had to go on unpaid leave, not only would have some income coming in, but at least you would be able to pay for your health insurance while you were out.G.
