What you need to know

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive about employee benefits.

What are employee benefits?
Employee benefits is the over-arching description for a range of benefits designed to recruit and retain employees, whilst also improving wellbeing, morale and productivity.
What is a flexible benefits scheme?
Flexible benefits schemes enable extended benefit personalisation, including, for example, holiday entitlement and chosen working hours.
Do insurers require the employee’s medical history?
Requirements vary depending on the benefit;

Group risk insurers apply a “free cover level” based on a benefit amount. All eligible employees with benefit levels below this figure will be included without the need to declare medical history.

Private medical insurers vary, some providers may request employee medical history.

Keyman insurers require full medical and financial underwriting of each member before they can agree cover.

Why is it cheaper to insure as a group rather than individually?
By insuring the policy as a group of individuals the risk to the insurer of incurring a claim is minimal due to the number of people covered. It’s like bulk-buying office stationery, the more you buy the cheaper it is per pen! Of course there is more to pricing the policy than number of employees, with other considerations including employee demographics and claims experience.
How do I calculate the benefit level for keyman insurance?
There are a number of methods you can use to calculate the level of protection you need:

  • Multiple of key person’s remuneration (i.e. between 5-10 times)
  • Multiple of profits (i.e. up to 5x net profit or 2x gross profit averaged over last 2/3 years)
  • Contribution to profitability (only helpful if the key persons salary and payroll have been stable)
  • Key persons remuneration ÷ Total salary roll period (in years) x Averaged annual gross profit x Expected recovery
