I need a break real bad but I can't afford a 40% pay cut to take short term disability

Can you build up a week or so of PTO and do a shorter-term stay?

I have to burn 5 days of PTO or unpaid time to even get to short term disability with a 40% paycut

Wait I'm a little confused. Disability aside for a moment, what if you just take five days off like you're going on vacation or something. Do you not get paid in full for those five days?

No. You really, really don't want that. That is a very bad idea because those places are rife with systematic abuses and you literally cannot check yourself back out whenever you like. Better to use a vacation day or call in sick if possible.

Only if I have the PTO to cover it. You either burn 5 days or up to 5 days of PTO or take unpaid time for what you don't have PTO for before the short term disability kicks in.

Maybe in your experience. I've institutionalized myself more than once with good experiences. I need treatment and a break, not a vacation.

How many days do you currently have? / How long would it take for you to get up to five days in the bank?
