He's set to go back to work on Monday - but didn't have enough sick time to cover the two week period. We applied for STD through his work benefits program and was approved. Thankfully, his program didn't have a waiting period. Unfortunately, the benefit is only 70%.
On top of that, the second part of Jordan's raise STILL hasn't gone through. Which means he got 70% of $48K not 70% of $50K.
Needless to say - my whole budget is out-of-whack. We're $500 short on his regular pay plus another $200 short because of his raise.
Joy.
Guess who's credit card is not getting paid off in time for Christmas.
Again.
I did have a bit of a buffer with cash flow in December - but we're going to be $300 short...and that assumes that Jordan's raise will at least go through for December..only two months late.
You are actually lucky that you had a benefit of 70%. Most disability policies don't pay that much. Good think Jordan got it out in time.
ReplyDeleteHope Jordan is feeling better, & that your budget is recovering quickly as well. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYikes! Get well soon, Jordan!
ReplyDeleteTime for a heart to heart with the raise approver...
