| Note: the following information has been copied from the employer’s “Short Term Disability Program” brochure. The brochure is available in pdf format HERE. |
The Short-Term Disability Program (STDP) provides coverage to all eligible employees regardless of their medical history or how long they have been with Canada Post.
The program provides eligible employees with:
The Urban Collective Agreement was signed December 21, 2012. The Short Term Disability Plan (STDP) will come into effect January 1, 2013.
There are now two forms that must be filled out if a member gets sick and has to go on the STDP (an absence longer than 7 calendar days).
It is advised that the process to get on the STDP will be faster if the member gets these forms filled out in the first visit by her/his doctor in case the illness is predicted to be longer than seven calendar days. Please note that in case of accident or hospitalization there is no waiting period and the payment will start from the first day of accident/hospitalization. Getting forms filled out the first day will expedite this payment as well.
The forms can be downloaded here:
