VODASURE GROUP SCHEMES FUNERAL & LIFE

Peace of mind for your employees and your business

The death of a loved one can leave your employees troubled and unproductive. If the employee is not financially prepared for an unexpected death, it could result in higher absenteeism and emotional stress which could negatively impact your employee’s well-being and your business productivity.

WHAT WE COVER

SMEs: Life, Funeral, Disability Larger corporates: Life, Funeral, Education, Disability, Critical Illness

WHY GROUP SCHEME COVER?

Affordable, reliable solutions

Group Schemes cover is generally less expensive than individual cover. VodaSure Group Schemes ensure that all premiums are subject to tax and your benefits are paid out tax free. You may apply to change your cover following major life events like the birth of a child, marriage, death of spouse, divorce or promotion.
