What if I'm unable to work due to injury or illness?

How coverage works

If illness or injury prevents work, disability benefits may continue a portion of income. Review your short term disability plan documents for specific eligibility and payment information.

Employee cost

Short-term disability is provided at no cost to employees.

How to start a leave: office hourly and non-bargained plant employees

1. 1

   Request leave at hormel.myleaveproservice.com or call Alight at 855-249-6318. Have your employee ID, two-week schedule, last day worked, expected return date and health care provider contact information ready.

2. 2

   Review your initial packet. Complete the release of information and have your provider complete the medical certification. Return documents by the date Alight gives you: 18 days from the initial packet or first absence, whichever is later.

   Track your claim and documents in the Alight portal. Payments begin after approval. Contact Alight on your return date or within 48 hours; follow your site's absence reporting procedure.
