Benefits

  • Attracts, retains, and rewards key employees
  • No IRS approval needed
  • No administration needed
  • Premiums are deductible as compensation to employees
  • Bonus is considered wages

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of coverage do I need for my business?

For most employers in Hawaii who have one or more full-time, part-time, or temporary employees, a Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) policy is required for your employees. This type of insurance covers some of an employee’s wages lost due to off-the-job sickness, injury, or pregnancy.

Pacific Guardian Life offers TDI to employers insuring employees residing in Hawaii; this plan may not be available to employees residing on the U.S. continent. Pacific Guardian Life makes no representations regarding an employer’s legal obligations under Federal or State employment and other applicable laws. Employers should contact their legal advisors for further information and advice regarding compliance with such laws. Pacific Guardian Life plans comply with applicable state laws.
