What is group insurance?
Group insurance describes insurance that covers a group of people—in your case, your employees. Group insurance is part of a comprehensive employee benefits package and can include a mix of insurance products.
Who pays the insurance premium?
You can choose to pay for all, part, or none of the premium with most of our insurance products. If your budget is tight, employees could pick up the entire cost of premium with voluntary insurance.
