Group Disability Insurance
Gracefully offload non-performing members from the payroll.
Without group disability insurance, the business must choose between continuing to pay non-performing workers and firing them at a vulnerable time, inviting employee relations problems and litigation risk.
Group disability insurance gets the business out of this jam by gracefully transitioning employees off the payroll to a monthly insurance benefit that replaces a percentage of earnings.
