As an employer, do I need to purchase WIA insurance?
As an employer, are you already familiar with WIA insurance? If an employee becomes unable to work, you, as the employer, are required to continue paying their wages for two years.
If your employee is still unable to work after these two years, they will be covered under the Work and Income according to Labor Capacity Act (WIA). They will then receive WIA benefits. As an employer, you can take out WIA insurance for your employees. WIA insurance supplements the WIA benefits your employee receives in the event of long-term disability. In that case, your employee will have an additional financial safety net.
As an employer, am I required to take out WIA insurance?
No, you are not obliged to take out WIA insurance. WIA insurance is voluntary insurance that you can take out to offer your employees greater financial security in the event that they become permanently incapacitated for work. You can offer WIA insurance collectively to your employees. They can then choose for themselves whether or not they want to participate in the insurance. Always check your collective labor agreement. Although taking out WIA insurance is not legally required, some collective labor agreements stipulate that this insurance must be taken out.
Why take out WIA insurance as an employer?
WIA insurance is voluntary, not compulsory. As an employer, you can therefore choose whether or not to take out WIA insurance for your staff. WIA insurance is a useful form of insurance, as it supplements the statutory WIA benefit. By taking out WIA insurance, you give your employees greater financial security.
WIA insurance offers various advantages for both employers and employees:
- The employee's income is supplemented
- The insurer offers assistance with the reintegration of the employee.
- WIA insurance contributes to the financial well-being of your employees.
- WIA insurance is a good secondary benefit for your employees and is recognized as a sign of good employment practices.
- The premium for WIA insurance is tax deductible.
- The benefit is index-linked.
