Short-Term Disability (STD)

Salary Continuation

If you need time off to recover from a non-work related illness or injury, Short-Term Disability (STD), also called Salary Continuation, replaces a portion of your base salary.

Salary Continuation pays you a percentage of your monthly base salary as follows:

  • 80% for the first six weeks
  • 66 2/3% for up to 20 additional weeks

Benefits begin after a seven-day elimination period. Transocean pays the full cost of STD benefits and you are automatically eligible after 180 days on the job.
