Life and Disability Insurance
Basic Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance
Basic Life and AD&D benefits vary by location. Benefits coverage applicable to you can be found in Workday, in your benefit elections, under Company Provided Life and AD&D Benefit.
Voluntary Life Insurance
In the event you want additional insurance coverage for your family, you can purchase Voluntary Life Insurance at competitive group rates. Once you purchase coverage for yourself, you can also get coverage for your spouse and eligible dependents.
If you are newly eligible and have not previously waived your opportunity to elect coverage, you can elect up to the Plan’s guaranteed issue amounts without submitting Evidence of Insurability (EOI). If you are a late entrant and have previously waived the opportunity to purchase additional coverage, you may be required to submit EOI. EOI requirements are communicated when you enroll.
Disability Insurance
Nidec offers Short- and Long-Term Disability Insurance.

Maternity Disability Benefits
While welcoming a new child is not considered a disability, pregnancy and childbirth-related leave are administered through disability and leave programs.
Through the Nidec STD benefit, if you give birth, you are eligible for benefits through The Hartford. These benefits provide a portion of your income while you recover from childbirth, based on the plan’s coverage and eligibility rules.
Visit Workday to find the benefit class applicable to you.
Contact The Hartford at 888.301.5615 for more information and to file a claim or help you process your leave request.
