With this could you take sick leave for mental health or undisclosed reasons to get the insurance and spend that time job searching? Just wondering how it works
In theory yes, but there is generally a 90 day (could be different but this is most common) waiting period before payments kick in - and it’s not backdated. So it’s really only useful if it’s an extended absence, and you have enough to get by for a few months without income
