Why choose Workmen Compensation Insurance?
Meet employer compensation liabilities
The policy helps employers meet compensation liabilities arising from covered employment-related injuries, disability or death.
Protect employees and their families
A serious workplace accident can affect an employee's ability to earn or leave the employee's family without financial support.
Protect your business
Workplace accidents can result in significant and unexpected compensation liabilities. Insurance helps transfer eligible financial exposure to the insurer.
Cover different categories of employees
The policy can be structured based on different employee categories, occupations, locations, wages and risk exposures.
Workmen Compensation vs Group Personal Accident
These two policies are often confused, but they serve different purposes.
Workmen Compensation Insurance
Primarily protects the employer against liability arising from employment-related injury, disability or death.
Group Personal Accident Insurance
Provides defined accident benefits directly for insured employees and can generally be structured for 24x7 accident protection, including accidents outside the workplace, subject to policy terms.
Depending on your workforce and requirements, your organisation may require one or both covers.
