LTE may describe employer salary paid in addition to a long-term disability benefit for exempt staff. It is a payment supplement, distinct from a premium buying disability cover.
Employer-specific label: this is a possible interpretation. Confirm the full meaning in the codebook for the employer that issued your statement.
How to read this entry
Use the possible interpretation Long-term disability top-up for exempt staff alongside the column heading. An earnings amount, an employee deduction and an employer-cost memo can have different effects even when their labels look similar.
Example on a pay statement
If a confirmed total target is $1,500 and the coordinating insurer pays $1,100, the employer top-up could be $400 under that plan.
Examples illustrate the checking method. They are not a personal tax calculation or a promise of a particular benefit.
What to check with payroll
Check the plan’s target, offsets and period. Exempt employee status does not make the top-up tax-free.
