Group income protection - employee information
What a group income protection policy means for you
Group income protection insurance allows your employer to pay you a percentage of continued income if you can’t work for a prolonged period due to illness or injury.
If your employer has a Group Income Protection policy with Zurich Corporate Risk, you will also have access to specialist rehabilitation support to aid your recovery and help you make a successful return to work.

In the videos below, Sue and Caroline explain their experience with illness and how our rehabilitation team supported them during their recovery and return to work.
