Cover during temporary absence

If employee is absent due to illness or injury, we’ll continue cover up to the maximum age as long as they remain eligible for cover.

If employee is absent for another reason, such as sabbatical, we’ll continue cover for three years.

If earnings reduce during absence, an employee’s cover will remain at the level they had before their absence.

Options to help protect towards the impact of inflation and for different durations, plus maintain cover for up to 24 months after redundancy are also available.

Medical underwriting

We can usually cover most employees without needing personal health details. However, there will be times when we need to ask employees about their health and hobbies to help us decide if we can cover them.

If your client is switching their existing insured scheme to us, we can usually cover the employees their previous insurer had already underwritten.

Claims history discount We consider past claims history when working out the unit rate. A good claims history usually means the premiums will be lower than for a bad claims history.
