Here in Canada most employers offer extended group benefits insurance to its employees. The cost is usually split 50 50 but that can vary. Among the benefits is long term sick leave. Once other sick leave time has been exhausted the employee can apply for long term sick leave. While on it the employee collects an average of 70% of their salary and they are guaranteed employment when they are well enough to return to work.
Does anything like that exist in the US?
