Sickness insurance
What is Sickness insurance?
Sickness insurance (also known as illness insurance) is a type of insurance benefit that covers employees in the instance that they become too unwell to work.
Sickness insurance involves your company paying a premium which then pays out a lump sum or a regular monthly income to an employee if they become sick.
At Ben, we've partnered with leading sickness insurance providers to offer your team the best level of support for them.
