The value of disability income insurance
The ability to earn an income is an employee’s most important financial asset, but often times overlooked – which can result in loss of income, independence and financial security.
Disability income insurance policies can assist by replacing a portion of an employee’s income if they become hurt and can’t work. Plus it helps give them peace of mind so they can recover faster and get back to work sooner.
Short-term disability income insurance helps protect employees from financial hardship. Many employees simply don’t have enough savings to cover lost income if they’re disabled due to covered illnesses or injuries.
