Wiba Insurance is an employee benefit plan that helps employees to get financial compensation while on duty or any project undertaken by the policyholder against accidents or bodily injuries/disabilities or death. According to the WIBA Act 2007, the employee can claim for compensation against accidental bodily injury, disablement or death at work. Wiba Insurance can be availed by employees above the age of 18.
Wiba Insurance is a necessary policy for all employees to protect against liabilities that arise from work-related injuries and occupational diseases. When the Wiba insurance is carried out internally, it could affect the company’s operations that your savings will drain off. Transferring those huge risks to an insurance company for the safety and well being of the employees is the best option as it won’t affect the company's financial planning.
