Let’s talk sick pay!
What does your employer give you?
4. 3, 6, maybe 12 months full pay?
Let’s say you earn £2000 a month, if you are unable to work due to illness or injury, your employer will pay you the full amount for one of the above or somewhere in between.
Let me throw a hypothetical situation at you…
Your employer comes to you and offers you two contracts;
Option 1: Monthly income of £2000, with 6 months full sick pay & 6 month half.
Meaning your income is guaranteed for 6 months if you are unable to work.
Option 2: Monthly income of £1950, with sick pay until retirement.
Meaning if you couldn’t work again, you’ll receive your monthly income until retirement age.
Which option are you choosing?
Option 2 is what having an Income Protection policy gives you. It provides financially resilience, in that if you can’t work due to physical/mental illness or injury, you have a guaranteed income which can last until retirement age.
If you choose Option 2, let’s have a chat.
