Jury service cover
When you’re self-employed, serving on a jury can mean losing income. That’s why IPSE compensates members for loss of income due to getting called up for jury service.
What is it?
You have finally landed your dream client and the work is going great, until you unexpectedly fall ill and can’t work for nearly a month, interrupting all your income but not halting any of your outgoing expenses.
As an IPSE Kickstart, Freelancer or Director member, if you are ill or injured for 3 or more weeks, IPSE will compensate you based on your current contract.
When you work for yourself, having this type of protection in place is a no-brainer. The potential outcome of a claim for this cover can surpass the cost of an annual IPSE membership fee - many times over.
| Membership category | Kickstart | Freelancer | Director |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level of cover | Up to £1,500 | Up to £1,500 | Up to £2,000 |
How does it work?
If you have been signed off by a doctor or hospital for 3 weeks or more, all you’ll need to do is fill out a straightforward claim form and send it to our membership team in an email with some additional evidence (such as a doctor’s note), then we’ll take care of the rest.
If successful, we’ll send your compensation in a single payment, so that you can rest easy knowing your bills are covered and focus on getting back on your feet.
There is a 60 day waiting period before you are eligible for this benefit, and any preplanned procedures or absences are not covered.
