Policies are simply administered and offer a wide range of benefit options to suit company structures no matter how complex.

As part of a modern employee benefits package, Income Protection enables employers to pay employee’s and income should illness or accident prevent them from working for a prolonged period of time. By doing so, the employer recognises the value of its employee’s and cares about the welfare and financial security of them and their families. By having Income Protection in place, the financial impact on the business is reduced if it loses employee’s to long-term absences at work, as the cost of the contractual obligation to continue a percentage of salary is met by the insurer.

Critical illness can be offered in addition to Income Protection and provides a lump sum payment in the event of critical illness being diagnosed. This benefit is also suited to employers who may not be offering a long-term salary commitment to their employee or if the employee is likely to leave.
