Disability Insurance (DI) is a component of the State Disability Insurance (SDI) Program, designed to partially replace wages lost due to a non-work-related disability.
California employers must provide employees information about their rights to SDI benefits, at the time of hire and again when taking a leave of absence for a reason that is covered.
The SDI pamphlet notifies employees of their right to disability insurance benefits should they sustain a non-work-related injury.
Including these disability insurance pamphlets in your orientation kits and making sure one is available to every employee taking a leave for a covered reason fulfill an important legal obligation.
Remember, not informing employees of their rights in the workplace can result in lawsuits and fines.
