What is group life insurance?

Group Life Assurance is a type of group insurance policy that is designed to provide life insurance benefits for employees in an employment environment. It protects employees and their families against financial hardship as a result of major life events such as death, disablement, or critical illness prior to reaching retirement. The minimum number of people that form a group eligible for GLA is 5.

What is covered under group life insurance?

  • Death Benefit: Provides for the payment of an agreed multiple of the employee’s annual remuneration or a selected fixed amount to their beneficiaries and/or dependents.
  • Funeral Benefit: Provides for the payment of funeral and related expenses in the event of an employee’s death. The benefit can be extended to employee dependents too.
  • Permanent and Total Disability: This benefit ensures financial support for employees in the event of them becoming permanently disabled and no longer able to work and earn an income.
  • Critical Illnesses: Provides for the payment of an agreed sum assured in the event of the employee contracting a specified severe illness (i.e. not all illnesses are covered). This benefit can assist the employee financially due to loss of income and/or medical expenses incurred.
  • School Fees benefits: Provides a lumpsum school fees payment to support the orphaned children with school continuity
  • Hospital Cash, Counselling, Physiotherapy, Home modification and Retrenchment
