Sick Pay Insurance

Sick Pay Insurance can help ease the headache of short-term absence by providing financial support after just one week absence.

Important information

Following a regular review into our offerings, we decided to pause quoting for new Sick Pay Insurance business from 1st May 2022 until further notice.

We made this decision to enable us to strategically evaluate the design of the product and invest in the systems that support it. 

We have made some changes to how we administer Sick Pay Insurance policies as a result. The cover and benefits in place remain the same but we’ve simplified the administration and claims process, in line with our other group products. 

We want to reassure you that we will continue to service existing Sick Pay Insurance policies and provide the same levels of cover to existing policyholders.
