Why short term disability payments are not made on the weekends?

Question

I was on short term disability and noticed on my paycheck that I was short 16 hrs. I was told by payroll that short term disability are not made on weekends. Is this true?

Answer 1

Since 5 days a week, 8 hours per day is the normal work-week, that's what the STD will pay for; the normal work-week.
