Daily Allowance Insurance

Daily Allowance Insurance relieves employers of the obligation to continue paying wages when employees are ill or have accidents. A supplement to the maternity indemnity according to the federal law on compensation for loss of income (EOG/LAPG) can also be included. With Daily Allowance Insurance, even unexpected costs remain calculable.

 

Daily Allowance Insurance can be widely adapted to the needs of the individual company.
