Can I take out WIA insurance for my employee?

Yes, as an employer you can take out WIA insurance for your employee. If an employee is unfit for work, as an employer you must continue to pay your employee's wages for two years. If the employee is still disabled after two years, he will enter the Work and Income according to Labour Capacity Act (WIA). He will then receive a WIA benefit from the UWV. Depending on the type of benefit, your employee's income may drop significantly. To protect your employee against this, you can take out WIA insurance. WIA insurance is a supplement to the WIA benefit. We will tell you more about it in this article at Alpina.nl .
