Salary Protection for Employees in Ireland

Salary Protection – Protecting Your Wages Beyond Sick Pay

Many employees assume their employer will “look after them” if they are unable to work.

In reality:

  • Employer sick pay is often limited or temporary

  • Long-term illness can drastically reduce household income

  • State illness benefits are rarely enough to cover full living costs

Salary protection provides long-term income security, paying a regular benefit if illness or injury prevents you from working.

Why Employees Choose Salary Protection

Salary protection helps employees:

  • Maintain their standard of living

  • Continue paying mortgage or rent

  • Protect their family from financial stress

  • Avoid relying on savings or credit

Income Protection is particularly valuable for:

  • Employees with mortgages or dependants

  • Dual-income households reliant on both wages

  • Workers without extended sick pay schemes

Protecting your wages is about protecting your family’s stability.
