Income protection, also known as permanent health insurance, provides a regular, long-term income for employees who become unable to work for the organisation because of a permanent disability or other medical condition.
Organisations often pay the premium for income protection, so the benefit is often limited to only some employees.
Income protection can also be made available to a wider group of employees through a flexible benefits scheme.
