Helsana Business Salary Reduce your financial risks for illness. Under the law, you still have to pay your employees their salary when they are sick. With Helsana Business Salary daily sickness benefits insurance, we assume these costs on your behalf. And much more. A company suffers twice over when an employee is sick: the sick employee cannot contribute to the productivity of your company, and you are obliged by law to continue to pay his salary for a specific period of time. With Helsana Business Salary you assign this risk to us. As soon as the waiting period preferred by you is over, we pay 80% to 100% of the employee's salary or insured salary. Your advantages with Helsana Business Salary: Your loss of earnings risk can be calculated. You choose the percentage of salary coverage (80/90/100 %) and the waiting period yourself. Instalment payments do not attract a surcharge. For long-term absences,you can count on the support of our professional Case Management team. And this is how your employees benefit: There are no shortfalls in coverage, as we can at your request coordinate the daily benefits with the disability insurance (IV) and the pension fund (BVG) (see graph).
