These schemes are designed to provide you with a percentage of your income if you’re ill or injured, and can’t work. It helps give financial security and peace of mind, so you can focus on getting better.
Salary protection gives you a replacement income of up to 75% of your annual salary* – if you can't work due to illness or injury, and your sick pay has reduced to half pay or ceased altogether.
*Up to 75% less any other income to which you may be entitled e.g. half pay, Ill Health Early Retirement Pension, Temporary Rehabilitation Remuneration, State Illness Benefit. You can claim salary protection when you have used up your employer’s sick leave and passed the scheme ‘deferred period’. Simply put, that’s the time that must pass before benefit is paid.
The scheme provides a lump sum of typically twice your annual salary if you die. This can help to pay bills and unexpected costs, at an already difficult time.
If your spouse or civil partner dies, you’ll receive a payment of one year's salary.
OR
If you’re single, and are diagnosed with one of the specified illnesses listed in the policy document, you’ll receive an extra 25% of your annual salary.
