Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Disability

I need to have surgery and I'm on salary and I do have short and long term disability but for the first 2 weeks of short term it doesn't pay you. Does my employer have to pay me since I'm a salaried Manager? I can't afford to have the surgery if they don't pay me.
