What is the Group Insurance is?

Let’s get to know the Group Insurance.

A Group Insurance is the insurance that covers many people under a one and single Policy with employer as the Policy Holder and employees as the Insured which, in most case, is the giving of welfare to employees.

The Group Insurance which employers can make for their employees consists of many forms: such as;

  • Group Life Insurance: Providing coverage on the loss of life in all cases no matter what the cause is either from sickness or an accident both within the working hours or out of the working hours throughout 24 hours worldwide which, in this connection, the insurer will pay the insured amount to the heir(s)/heiress(es) or beneficiary/beneficiaries of the employee as specified.
