The employer is obligated to follow its own written policy about employees out on short-term disability leave. The employer cannot, for example, pay for the president's health insurance when she is out on STD leave and then not pay for the entry-level clerk's health insurance when he is out on STD leave. If the employer does not have a written policy, then all employees who take a disability leave should be treated the same.
Reg. 31.3121(a)(4)-1 says no FICA after 6 months: § 31.3121(a)(4)-1 Payments on account of sickness or accident disability, or medical or hospitalization expenses.

Such payments are excluded from wages under this exception even though not made under a plan or system. If the employee does not actually perform services for the employer during the requisite period, the existence of the employer- employee relationship during that period is immaterial.

Where there may be cost sharing of the premium, an employer's contribution shoud always be to the health and dental portion.
