Disability

  • The basics

    Short-Term Disability (STD) and basic Long-Term Disability (LTD) benefits provide a source of non-taxable income while you recover from a qualified health condition or injury. This coverage is mandatory at Iron Mountain, you cannot opt out of this coverage. See below for details.

  • How it works

    You’re automatically enrolled in STD and LTD upon hire and coverage begins 90 days after your hire date. You pay a bi-weekly cost, before tax, based on your salary, so when you need to use your STD and/or LTD benefits, you don’t have to pay taxes on them. See costs in Canadian dollars below.
