INSURANCE FOR BUSINESS | EMPLOYEE PROTECTION

Group Life Cover

Group Life cover is a very simple employee benefit, paying out if the employee passes away whilst in employment with your organisation. The policy would pay out irrespective of whether death occurs whilst at work or not. Each employee is covered as a multiple of their gross earnings which is determined by the business upon setting up the policy. The structure of the policy is flexible allowing different grades of employees to have different levels of cover, if they wish.

Group Life Cover (Death In Service)

Group Life cover helps you deal with one of the most difficult situations that could happen in your workplace and the payment can never replace the valued and respected employee, but can help ease the financial burden when their dependants need it the most.

68% of parents – Have no plan for dealing with the death of either themselves or their partner

47% of parents expect that – they would not cope well financially following the death of the main income earner

Free Life Cover Limits – No Medical Required

The life cover you put in place would help to ensure that the employee’s family could cope financially, relieving money worries at a very difficult time.

Life cover has always been a valued employee benefit as well as inexpensive to provide. It can assist in attracting and retaining talent within your business, whilst at the same time demonstrating your duty of care as an employer.

A fast and efficient process for paying claims.

The policy aims to provide insurance to cover a lump sum benefit to the employees and to offer you a choice of benefits to yours and the employees needs.

  • Minimum number of lives to be covered varies from Insurer to Insurer
  • Different levels of cover for different group categories
  • Premium payment – monthly/quarterly/yearly, depending on provider.
  • Age related rates – up to 75 years of age.
  • Free automatic acceptance limits are given, resulting in no medical checks being needed. (Individual assessments are given to those with benefits over the automatic acceptance limit. This varies depending on provider).
  • Tax efficient for businesses.
  • Tax free benefits in most circumstances.
  • Added value services – such as bereavement counselling expert guidance & support.
