For policies of three employees or more

Who can be insured?

All employees, or those that fit your predefined eligibility definitions, between the ages of 16 and 75 can normally be covered
You can choose different benefit levels for defined groups of employees

Our technical guide can help provide more details about the cover, the options, the exclusions and how claims are assessed.

How much can they be insured for?

Employees can be covered for a multiple of their earnings or a fixed lump sum up to a maximum of £10 million.
You can choose to insure all, or part of the amount paid to employees.

Is there any 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 you’re switching from an existing scheme to us, we can normally usually cover the employees your previous insurer had already underwritten.
We can often cover up to £1.8 million without the need for medical underwriting. The limit depends on the size of the policy and the benefit choices.

Make a claim

Get in touch about a claim as soon as possible, so we can offer support to employees straightaway. We can help them source the support they need and smooth the payment process.
