Group
salary continuance insurance is taken out by employers for their employees. It
forms part of their salary package and adds value and goodwill as the employees
know that if they die or have a total and permanent disability, their families
will be looked after. This kind of security is invaluable.
From
the employers point of view it not only adds goodwill and value to the salary
package they are offering, but it is a cost effective way of providing
insurance because it has been bought in bulk. It helps an employer to find good
staff if he can offer the benefit of salary continuance insurance. If such
employees do not have their own similar insurance they are more likely to
choose the employment that offers such protection.
The
key features of group salary continuance insurance are that you can choose the
waiting period – from 30 days to several months; you can be covered while on
leave without pay; there is a return to work program; it is guaranteed
renewable and nursing and recovery benefits apply. And since the employer is
the owner of the policy, he or she gets to choose which benefits apply.
Having
<a href="http://www.ccafp.com.au">salary continuance insurance</a> solves several problems at
once: -
·
If your valued
employee is suddenly unable to work, should you keep on supporting them past
their normal entitlements and if so for how long? But will doing so set a
precedent that may not be appropriate for less valued staff?
·
Should you terminate
your valued employee when the statutory entitlement time is up and will this
pose a problem for other employees?
·
If the employee
recovers will they return to work for someone else and leave you in the lurch
because you did not support them?
Because
such insurance is purchased in bulk, it becomes very affordable and is
certainly worth it to avoid such problems.
