Stangen Salary Protection

Protect your world by protecting your income

Your income supports the lifestyle you enjoy. Where would you be without it? You could be left struggling to pay everyday expenses like your bond, rent, groceries or school fees. Stangen Salary Protection will pay you a monthly income if you are “disabled” through illness or injury and are unable to work. The payments will start after you have been off work for 3 months and will be limited to 75% of your after-tax income immediately before you became disabled. You’ll know that your family and financial commitments will be taken care of when you’re unable to work. Now that’s wise.

What does my Salary Protection do?

Stangen’s Salary Protection will pay you a monthly income if you are disabled through illness or injury and are unable to work. The payments will start after you have been off work for 3 months and will be limited to 75% of your after-tax income immediately before you became disabled. For the first 12 months after you go off work, we will consider your specified occupation when assessing your ability to work. Once the first 12 months have passed, we will better understand your situation, and we will also look at alternative occupation in which you could work, and to which you are suited by skill, education and training. On confirmation of a disability your monthly benefit will be payable until you recover, turn 65 or die, whichever comes first. Salary Protection claims will be evaluated by Stangen’s appointed medical team, using industry best practice to assess your disability.
