Our company paid insurance schemes
Group Scheme FAQs
What is a company paid group scheme?
- You take out a company paid insurance policy and add your employees as members.
- You pay the premium as part of the employees remuneration package and employees receive a taxable benefit. A group scheme can be offered on no, or little, underwriting terms so that access is not dependent on detailed health questionnaires and pre-existing conditions are disregarded.
- You choose the level of cover to be provided and whether or not family members can be added.
We’ll provide you with literature to help you communicate your scheme and maximise the value of the benefit.
What are the benefits of a group scheme?
Not many people can afford serious illness – if time is money, time spent in hospital is a substantial financial loss. By ensuring that your employees have access to the benefits of a company paid insurance policy you’ve chosen to give them extra financial help when they need it most. This means:
- Your employees receive a valuable benefit to help with recruitment and retention.
- Your employees feel valued by you.
