What is Group Income Protection Insurance?
Group Income Protection, also known as Personal Accident Cover or Group Salary Continuance is an insurance policy taken out by a company on behalf of its employees. The policy protects employees’ income in the event of total or partial disability, caused by accidental injury or sickness, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
What does it cover?
Depending on the options chosen and subject to waiting periods a group income protection policy can cover the following:
- Between 80 – 100% income replacement for a workplace disability,
- Between 80 – 90% income replacement for non-workplace disability,
- Loss of life benefits,
- Funeral benefits,
- Homemaker assistance,
- Rehabilitation or return to work assistance,
