How many employees are needed for Group Life Cover?

Group Life Cover can be established for as little as 3 employees.

What level of cover is provided?

Cover is usually based on a multiple of the employee's basic salary, for example 2, 3 or 4 times salary.

A flat benefit e.g. a specific amount can also be established.

How much does it cost?

The cost of cover depends on the number of employees and level of benefit, but can be less than 1% of salary costs and is deductible as a business expense.

When is medical information required?

The insurers we work with will normally set a free cover limit below which employees are not required to provide medical evidence.

How are claims paid?

If the policy is held under a Discretionary Trust, the benefit is paid directly to the employee's nominated beneficiaries or estate.

If the policy is not held under Trust, the benefit is paid to the policyholder, usually the employer, who will then make payment to the employee's beneficiaries or estate.

Is the benefit taxable?

Cover of up to 4 times salary can be paid as a lump sum tax free, cover in excess of this figure, may be assessable to tax.
