Life Insurance: UNUM

Drury provides coverage for both the employee and the employee’s dependents at no cost to the employee. Employee’s life insurance coverage is equal to one times his/her gross salary rounded up to the nearest thousand. Spouses will be provided coverage of $2,000 and each dependent child, $1,000 of coverage at no cost to the employee. Coverage begins the first day of the month following employment, and continues until the last day of the month following his/her reduction in hours or termination of employment. Once an employee ceases to be eligible for coverage, he/she is provided with a conversion privilege.

Disability Insurance: UNUM

Drury provides coverage at no cost to the employee at the completion of one year of employment through UNUM. Should the employee become permanently disabled for six months, the employee may file for benefits, which will provide 60% of gross salary, not to exceed $15,000 per month. For non-disabled employees, this benefit terminates at the end of the month following an employee’s last day of work. Once an employee ceases to be eligible for coverage, he/she is provided with a conversion privilege.

Short Term Disability Insurance: UNUM

Your bills can add up quickly if you are unable to work for several weeks or more. This coverage pays you a portion of your income to help you keep up with your expenses while you’re not getting a paycheck. And you can take it with you if you change jobs.

This benefit will provide income to you for up to 6 months prior to the start of your Drury University long-term disability benefit. There will be a choice of elimination periods. Benefits are paid in addition to any sick leave. This will allow you to tailor this important benefit, so in the event of an illness or injury would cause an absence from work, a percentage of lost income could be paid to you for necessary living expenses.
