Group TPD Insurance NZ: Lump Sum Cover & How It Works

If an injury meant one of your team could never work again, would they be financially secure?

Group total permanent disablement cover pays an employee a lump sum if they can never return to work through illness or injury, usually set at one to five times their annual income, working alongside group income protection.

What is group total permanent disablement?

Group total permanent disablement insurance provides your employee with a lump sum benefit if they become totally and permanently or partially and permanently disabled and:

  • are unable to work or
  • are unable to perform domestic duties or
  • suffer total or partial disablement that prevents you from performing a number of every day activities.

How does group total permanent disablement work?

TPD policies either offer cover if your employee can no longer work in their usual job (own occupation) or may only cover your employee if they can’t work in any job at all (any occupation).

Often employers use a 1 to 5 times annual income formula to figure out how much TPD cover to offer employees. Your company then pays a regular premium depending on the cover amount selected. The cost of your premium will also depend on factors like age and the industry.

Ask the adviser

Group TPD answers the hardest question. Two covers work alongside it.

What pays while recovery is still possible?

TPD pays once it's clear an employee can never return to work. Group income protection carries them through the months before that, and the two are usually offered together.

What about a diagnosis they recover from?

Most serious illnesses don't end a career. Group trauma pays a lump sum on diagnosis, whether or not an employee is back at work.
