SINGAPORE - Employers who want to provide insurance coverage for their employees for stress or ergonomic injuries sustained while working at home now have a new option to do so.
This is believed to be the first policy specifically for working from home here, though other insurers often cover working from home under existing group plans such as those for personal accidents. Employees are also covered for accidental death or total and permanent disability if they slip and fall at home from hazards such as stairs and toys, or get seriously burned while cooking. They are also covered when working outside the home or on the move.
As of July 8, over 320 individual and corporate customers have received benefit payments from free Covid-19 coverage, said AIA chief corporate solutions officer Alvin Fu. Prudential Singapore allows small- and medium-sized enterprises to defer premium payments for group insurance policies for up to three months, if they apply for the deferral by Dec 31.
The firm also rolled out an insurance plan for self-employed, freelance and gig economy workers last month in a tie-up with telehealth start-up Doctor Anywhere. The annual renewable Great Comprehensive Care plan covers hospitalisation income, personal accident coverage and outpatient care.
