IFSE Institute LLQP Exam - Topic 2 Question 8 Discussion
Topic #: 2
Paulette earns a modest income working as a delivery driver for FastFlowers Inc. in Quebec. The florist company has over 80 employees, 20 of whom are delivery drivers. The employees benefit from a group short- and long-term disability plan. One morning, while delivering flowers, Paulette's truck is struck by a bus. Paulette is taken to the hospital where a doctor deems that she will be unable to work for at least 4 months. Paulette contacts Jade, the human resources manager, to ask her who will pay her disability benefits.
Which of the following answers is CORRECT?
As Paulette is injured during work and is covered by her employer's group disability plan, her disability benefits would be paid out under this group insurance policy. Group disability insurance provides both short- and long-term coverage, as outlined in her employer's benefits plan. This plan typically covers income replacement for non-workplace injuries or illnesses. However, since this was an on-the-job accident, it may be covered by the CNESST, but group insurance often still serves as the primary provider in situations where a workplace injury results in short-term disability exceeding standard workplace injury benefits. The SAAQ would only cover injuries directly related to road accidents within its jurisdiction. Employment insurance (EI) provides general income replacement but is secondary to employer-provided group disability benefits.
