Income Protection
Overview
The UCD Income Protection (IP) Plan is designed to give employees the opportunity to protect their income against the possibility of long term illness. For members of the Plan, once their sick pay benefit has been reduced to half pay or a member has exhausted their sick pay entitlement, the Plan is designed to pay a portion of their earnings providing them with a maximum income of 75% of salary (less any Early Retirement Pensions/ Temporary Rehabilitation Remuneration and / or Social Welfare benefit to which the member is entitled) while they are unable to work.
Until Decemeber 2014 this benefit has only been provided to Permanent Employees. Following a review of the plan, Effective from 01 January 2015 membership is being extended to Temporary Contract Employees who meet certain criteria (detailed in the notices below).
Please refer to your contract of employment or payslip to verify if you are included in the Income Protection Scheme. Detailed booklets for eligible members of staff are provided below.
