There may be times in which you have a need for time away from scheduled work. Bronson has several policies outlining the process and approval for a Leave of Absence (LOA).
Beginning September 1, Bronson will use Sedgwick for all Short-Term Disability, Leave of Absence, and Non-FMLA/ADA accommodations.
If you began disability payments before September 1, please continue to contact Sun Life at 1-800-247-6875.

What Happens To My Benefits On Leave?
Employees will retain all fringe benefits and credited service accrued during
their period of employment immediately preceding the leave.
Your benefits coverage will remain active while on an approved leave of absence. Benefit premiums (paycheck deductions) will be collected if you have PTO to use, disability payments, or any other earnings while on leave. If at any point you do not have earnings (Ex: a zero-dollar check), benefit deductions will be owed when you return to work, collected in installments.
