In general, yes an employer is getting a credit for certain qualified paid leave. Short Term Disability depending on how the policy was purchased or who paid the premiums are usually taxable. However, if you paid the premium with after tax income, it is tax free. Paid Family Leave is usually a credit for employers who provide time off to employees.
