I am in Canada. At my work we had deducted from every pay cost for company provided short term and long term disability payments. I just had to get the forms from HR and have my oncologist fill them out and gave them back to work.
I only recently be 7 sick days per year. The disability plan requires a 5 day waiting period before it starts so I needed to either use 5 sock dsys, vacation days, or no pay until the plan kicked in.
Also, if he is a stage 4 Canada Pension Plan disability can be applied for and received.
