Group Protection & Group Pensions
Group Protection
People are one of the most important assets in a successful company. A key tool in attracting and retaining top talent is having a strong benefits package,
offering financial protection to your staff and their dependents in the event of long-term illness or death.
The best way to protect your business from an unexpected liability associated with your benefits package is to insure the risk.
Group Life Insurance
(Death in Service)
Group Life Insurance (often referred to as Death in Service) is now seen as an essential part of the benefits package for most employers. It provides employees with the peace of mind that dependents will be provided for financially in the event of their death.
Employers have the flexibility to design a policy to meet their needs. You can decide on the eligibility criteria, level of benefits and payment terms.
A "continuation option" can also be added to the Lump Sum element of Group Life Insurance schemes. This allows employees to keep their level of lump sum cover after they have left your employment by replacing it with a term life policy without further evidence of health.

Protection Cover
Group Income Protection protects your employees from loss of income by paying them a monthly income if they are unable to work for a prolonged period due to long term illness or injury.
Employers have the flexibility to design a policy to meet their needs. You can decide on the eligibility criteria, level of cover and deferral period.
The maximum benefit provided is 75% of normal salary less state benefits. You choose the deferral period i.e. how much time to wait between an employee going on sick leave and the income protection payment commencing.
You can offer inflation protection to increase employee’s payment year on year.
A "continuation option" is an extra benefit which allows employees to continue their Income Protection themselves when they leave employment without further evidence of health.
