Short-Term Disability

The chart below summarizes your Short-Term Disability (STD) coverage.

Who pays for the benefit Coverage is automatic and company-paid. Nutanix pays the entire premium for your coverage.
Enrollment There is no need to enroll—you’re enrolled automatically when you become eligible.
Administrator Prudential.
Elimination period Benefits begin after seven calendar days of disability.
Amount of the benefit Benefits equal 60% of your weekly base salary, up to $2,310 per week.
Benefit maximum Benefits are paid for up to 26 weeks.
Taxation of benefit You choose whether the benefits you receive are taxable or not taxable during your benefits enrollment event.
STD Tax Choice

You choose whether the benefit you receive is taxable or not taxable. Here’s how each option works:

  • Option 1—Taxable: If you select the taxable benefit option(s), there will be no cost to you now, but any benefits you receive will be taxable.
  • Option 2—Non-Taxable: If you select the non-taxable option(s), you’ll pay the imputed income (tax on the value of the premium) now, but any benefits you receive will be free of taxes.

With Option 2, the value of the premium is imputed income.* Imputed income is the value of the STD benefit paid by Nutanix on your behalf, and it increases the taxable income reported on your W-2. If you don’t want to pay imputed income on the STD premium that Nutanix pays on your behalf and you would rather have your STD benefit payments taxed, you must actively elect Option 1.

You choose how your STD benefits are taxed when you first enroll in benefits or during Open Enrollment each year. If you don’t make an STD tax choice, you’ll be automatically enrolled in Option 2 in Workday.

*Imputed income is the value of the Short-Term Disability benefit paid by Nutanix on your behalf.
