Schemes

Per Capita

This is where the premium is calculated on the number of partners, principals and employees. Similar to the way PLEL is calculated. The more people the greater the premium.

Also this scheme has two options (1 & 2) where all sums insured are set and cannot be modified. This has been put together to save you time and energy insuring many small risks that will in turn create higher premiums than normal. This way the requirements, if not exceeding the limits on the sums insured are simply ‘placed’ into a category option. Depending on the amount of people working for the business a standard premium is charged.

Adjustable

CAR can be calculated on an adjustable basis where the sums insured exceed the per capita options scheme or there are more than 10 people.

This where the premium is calculated on a p rate percent which is the price in pounds for each hundred pounds of insurance. For example a rate percent of 1.0% would mean that a charge of £1.00 would be made for every £100 of the sum insured.

The total premium is a combination of the rates per cent of the sums insured for;

  • Contract Works (based on annual turnover)
  • Own Plant &
  • Tools sum insured
  • Hired in plant (based on annual hire charges)
  • Employees tools sum insured
