Is Short Term Disability Considered Unemployment?

Dear Deb:

I took a one-month leave of absence from my job two years ago to recover from back surgery.  It was covered by sick days and two weeks of short-term disability. Do I need to show that month as unemployed on my resume?  How would I present that? 

Thank you,

Ted

Dear Ted:

No, it is not necessary to explain that one-month medical leave of absence on your resume.  You were still employed. On your resume, it is perfectly acceptable to show  years only.  Experts are split on month/year or years only.  Both presentations are acceptable.

All the best,

Deb
