Executive Income Protection

The smart way to protect your client and their business

Executive Income Protection provides a monthly payment to an employer if an insured employee is unable to work due to illness or injury. This allows the employer to continue paying the employee’s salary for as long as they are unable to work, without placing additional financial strain on the business during a challenging period.

How does it work?

Payments help cover the cost of an employee’s sick pay and employer pension scheme contributions. Executive Income Protection allows you to protect up to 75% of your client’s salary if they become ill or injured and unable to work. Additionally, premiums are paid by the company and can be treated as a business expense.

Your client will receive a daily replacement income if in hospital for more than 7 days during the deferred period. This payment will be backdated to day 1, once your client is in  hospital for more than 7 days.

Waiver of Premium

Your client won’t pay any premiums while we’re paying them an income, and their plan will carry on as normal. This means if they return to work and need to claim again, they can.

Work Tasks Disability

This benefit allows your client to keep their policy in force if they stop working for reasons other than illness or injury. If they contact us, we will reduce their benefit to €15,000 per annum and the premium will reduce accordingly. During this period in the event of claim, the claim will be assessed under the work tasks definition.

Overseas benefit

In claim, the full benefit will be paid if your client is resident within Europe (including UK). If your client moves outside of Europe, we will pay for 13 weeks.

Rehabilitation benefit

During a claim your client has access to tailored rehabilitation and exercise programmes if they need it or it’s appropriate for the type of injury they’ve suffered.

Career change programme Your client can avail of this programme while on claim, which aims to assist those who, after recovery, are unable to return to their normal occupation, in seeking a new career or alternative employment.
