DISABILITY BENEFITS
You work hard to make our company great, and we want to do all we can to help you protect your financial security. If you find yourself unable to work due to injury or illness, we provide disability benefits, administered by Unum, to replace a portion of your income.
Rest assured, benefit checks will be sent directly to you, so you can focus on paying your bills and getting back on your feet.
- Salaried outfitters have short-term disability (STD) and long-term disability (LTD) coverages paid by Bass Pro. No enrollment is required.
- Full-time hourly outfitters may purchase STD and LTD coverage on a voluntary basis.
*EOI is required for all new voluntary STD and LTD elections. If elected, you will receive an EOI “To do” task in Workday. Follow the instructions to complete your request for coverage.
Short-term disability.
Salaried outfitters will automatically be enrolled in company-paid STD insurance. Weekly benefits begin after you have been unable to work for seven consecutive days due to an eligible injury or illness. The weekly benefit amount is equal to 100 percent of your weekly pay for the first eight weeks, and 60 percent of your weekly pay for the next 17 weeks, up to a maximum of $5,000 per week. The benefit is payable up to 25 weeks while unable to work due to a covered condition.
Long-term disability.
The LTD benefit pays 60 percent of your monthly salary, up to a maximum monthly benefit of $15,000 if you continue to be disabled after 180 days (the length of your STD benefit). LTD benefits generally pay as long as you are disabled up to your retirement age, or you become employable for any occupation. (See plan documents for complete details.)
Voluntary short-term disability.
Full-time hourly outfitters may purchase voluntary STD insurance. Weekly benefits begin after you have been unable to work for seven consecutive days because of an eligible injury or illness. The amount of the benefit is equal to 60 percent of your weekly pay, up to a maximum of $1,250 per week.
The benefit is payable up to 25 weeks while unable to work due to a covered condition. As a voluntary benefit, you must elect this coverage during your enrollment and you pay the entire cost of your STD coverage.
Voluntary long-term disability.
Full-time hourly outfitters also may purchase voluntary LTD insurance. To receive benefits, you must be disabled for 180 days within a 365-calendar-day period. The amount of the benefit is equal to 60 percent of your monthly earnings, up to a maximum of $5,000 per month.
LTD benefits generally pay as long as you are disabled up to your retirement age, or you become employable for any occupation. (See plan documents for complete details.)
