Short-term Disability Income Coverage Auto-Wares Group provides short-term disability income coverage to full-time employees after one year of full-time employment, at no cost to the employee. This provides income if you are unable to work due to a non-work-related injury or sickness. Future paid time off hours (PTO) may be prorated due to length of disability. Contact the Human Resource department for more details. Short term disability time off does run concurrently with the FMLA. Group Term Life Insurance Auto-Wares Group provides term life insurance to full-time employees at no cost to the employee. To be eligible, employees must complete 60-days of continuous full-time employment, and coverage begins the first day of the month following that 60-day period. Details are available in the Plan document. Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) Employees who have been employed for at least one year, and for at least 1,250 hours (1,000 hours for WI employees) during the preceding 12 - (1) month period are eligible to apply for family and medical leave. For employees not eligible for family and medical leave, Auto-Wares Group will review business considerations, and the individual circumstances involved. Except for those employees designated as “highly compensated employees,” employees will be returned to the same or to an equivalent position. Family or medical leave will consist of appropriate accrued paid leave and unpaid leave. When leave is requested, the employee must use all of his or her accrued paid time off (optional in WI). The remainder of the leave period will then consist of unpaid leave. Reasons for Leave All employees who meet the applicable time of service requirements may be granted family or medical leave consisting of appropriate accrued paid leave and unpaid leave, for a period of twelve (12) weeks (during any 12-month period; calendar year for Wisconsin employees) for the following reasons: • The birth of the employee’s child and in order to care for the child • The placement of a child with the employee for adoption or foster care • To care for a spouse, child, or parent who has a serious health condition • A serious health condition that renders the employee incapable of performing the functions of his or her job. • Any other reasons determined by state law. The entitlement to leave for the birth or placement of a child for adoption or foster care will expire twelve (12) months from the date of the birth or placement.
