Death In Service
Death In Service
Should an employee die whilst in service with your company, a Group Life Policy will provide a lump sum payment to their beneficiaries.
The Essentials
- Also known as Group Life Insurance
- Payable to the employee’s spouse, dependents or other beneficiaries (at trustees’ discretion).
- Benefits are paid out into trusts to avoid inheritance tax
- Flexible cover usually around 2, 3 or 4x the employee’s gross annual salary
Why Death in Service Insurance?
- Flexible cover that can be graded by employee seniority or salary
- Complement a strong benefits package to support recruitment and retention
- Enjoy preferential rates for group insurance
- Include add-ons such as Spouse’s Pension or Bereavement Service
- Demonstrate commitment to supporting your employees and their families
Who receives the pay-out?
- The employee’s spouse or partner (as a lifetime income or lump sum)
- The employee’s children (as income until age 18)
- Other financial dependents such as elderly relatives (as an income for when the deceased employee has no spouse).
