Group Income Protection Insurance
Have you considered what would happen if one of your employees suffered an injury or illness and was left unable to work?
As an employer, could you cope with the financial burden of not only paying your employee during their potentially long-term absence but also the additional costs associated with hiring a replacement if required?
Group Income Protection Insurance (also known as Personal Accident Cover or Group Salary Continuance) is an insurance policy taken out by an employer on behalf of their employees. It provides income protection for workplace disability, caused by accidental injury or sickness.
Since 1994, Coverforce have worked hard to deliver customisable Group Income Protection solutions that are simple to manage for our clients. Today, we are proud to protect the financial futures of more than 70,000 Australian employees each month.
