Learn more about your Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Coverage
Short-Term Disability Coverage
Your short-term disability coverage provides income replacement to cover the gap, if any, between the number of sick days you’ve accumulated and 80 days, when the Long-Term Disability Plan kicks-in. Every year, members accumulate unused sick days up to the total stated in the Collective Agreement. If you are relatively new to BLSD or you’re returning to work after a long absence due to illness, you might not have accumulated enough sick days to get to 80.

Long-Term Disability Coverage
The MTS Long-Term Disability Benefits Plan assists members through periods of disability by offering income replacement, rehabilitation support, and return-to-work assistance. The plan’s benefits begin after a teacher has been off work for 80 days.
