Is Sex Addiction a Disability?

Empire Life has a benefit for people with addictions who want to attend an rehab facility.  I wonder if they would consider this one of their covered addictions?  I recently assisted a client with an employee who had a Gaming addiction, the process the employee went through was similar to an Alcohol or a Drug addiction.

So the question of the day, “Is Sex Addiction a Disability?”.

Benefits Canada recently did an article on “Is sex addiction a disability employers must accommodate?”  A Nova Scotia arbitrator has ruled that sex addiction isn’t a disability that employers must accommodate, especially where the condition doesn’t affect the employee’s ability to perform their duties.

Addictions can affect people in many different ways.  Contact Glendinning Insurance Services to find out what benefits are available for your employees in their time of need.
