STATE DISABILITY INSURANCE
To protect employees who mis$ work due to a non-work-related accident or
illness, the law requires that a sma ll percentage of each employee's wages, up to
the prevailing maximum, be deducted each pay period for disability insurance.
The benefits are calculated as a percentage of salary, up to a weekly maximum
as specified by law.
The employee Is responsible for fi ling his or her claim and other forms promptly
and accurately with the Employment Developn1enl Department. A claim form
may be obtained from any office of the Employment Development Department by
telephone, letter, or in person.
SOCIAL SECURITY
Employees are covered under the provisions of th e federal social security law
(FICA). Social security benefits are often a significant step to provide an
employee and his/her family a retirement income. The amount of the deduction
from wages for social security taxes is matched by the compariy. The total
contribution by the employee and the company is credited toward the employee's
social security benefits, which may be available at the time the employee is
eligible to retire, or in cases of disability and/or survivor benefits as defined by
law.
