Group Disability Insurance
Gracefully transition employees off the payroll when they can't perform for health reasons.
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.
Only two (2) full time members, including owners, are required for qualified businesses. There are no medical questions and coverage can be installed with no employee cooperation.
