Get an employer a one stop solution for employee insurance
WIBA Insurance Policy
The name avers the source of the requirement of the WIBA Insurance policy. The Act came into effect in December 2007 and has variously been challenged and amended.
This is a combination of the workmen injury benefit act (WIBA) and Group Personal Accident (GPA) covers, intended to give an employer a one stop solution for employee insurance. It addresses the workplace risk as well as off-duty risks
While payout under the WIBA section is standard as per the Act, benefits under the GPA cover can be tailored to suit individual needs – say multiplier on 3, 5 or 8 years.
Work Injury Benefit as set out by an Act of Parliament. Every employer is bound to compensate employees for any death / injury while on duty. Payment is for Death, Disability, and Medical expenses and funeral costs.
The Labour office administers all claims under this act and directs the employer on amounts payable.
