Group Income Protection

Financial Protection for your employees when they need it most

Offering support to your employees when they are ill or injured can make a world of difference to their recovery

Group income protection provides financial support for employees who are unable to work because of a long-term illness or injury. Group income protection insurance covers an employee’s salary while they take time off and it can provide access to rehabilitation specialists to help them recover and return to work as quickly as possible.

Although state benefits can help, they typically only pay a small portion compared to an average salary. Group income protection is a highly valued benefit that can help alleviate money worries so that unwell employees can focus on their return to health. It can also help to attract and retain employees.

Group Life Insurance

Group life insurance is widely known as ‘Death in Service’ and is one of the most highly-valued employee benefits that you can offer employees. It enables employers to provide a lump sum payment to an employee’s family, children or any chosen beneficiaries if the employee dies.

Group Critical Illness Cover

Critical illness cover provides your employees with a tax-free cash lump sum if they are diagnosed with a specified serious illness or condition (subject to the policy terms and conditions).

For example, a heart attack, cancer, stroke, or multiple sclerosis. This can happen to anyone, at any age, often unexpectedly. Your employees will be reassured knowing that, should a life changing diagnosis be given, they will receive a tax-free lump sum which they can spend however they choose.
