What is...
admin and clerical assistant insurance?
Whether you’re a freelance assistant, executive administrator or anything in between, you should consider having the right insurance in place. When working with clients, there is always risk involved and you can never remove it completely.
Clerical insurance could help protect your day-to-day work against financial risks and covers your back from things that could go wrong with clients or members of the public and you face a claim.
What types of admin assistants need insurance?
Here is an example of the type of administrators we can help:
- Freelance administrative professionals
- Office administrators
- Virtual assistants
- Corporate executive assistants
- Temporary and contract clerical workers
- Remote administrative support specialists
Can’t see yourself on the list? Whether you’re self-employed or run a small business, it’s likely we can help. Get in touch with us today.
Why do admin and clerical assistants need cover?
If you work closely with clients and with sensitive information, you might run into the following risks:
- A client claims you made a costly mistake
- You trip and injure yourself at work
- Your work equipment is stolen or damaged
- You accidentally damage a client or employer's property
If you employ anyone to work for you (including volunteers), you’ll need to take out employers’ liability insurance as a legal requirement. If you are self-employed or contracted and work alone, you won’t need this.
What does admin & clerical insurance cover?
Policies will vary per provider, and terms and conditions always apply, so always check the small print in your policy wording to see what’s included and excluded. Your insurance cover could include:
Employers’ liability insurance
In case an employee gets ill or injured because of the work they do for you. A legal requirement if you have employees.
Public liability insurance
In case you injure someone or damage something while providing your services
Professional indemnity insurance
Protects against incorrect advice or professional negligence claims where financial or physical damage has occurred.
Business interruption insurance
In case your commercial office space is unable to operate your business due to an insured event like fire or flood.
What doesn’t it cover?
Although not every insurer is the same, you’re likely to see some exclusions. Always refer to your policy wording to see what’s included and excluded. You may see the following exclusions:
- Deliberate malpractice or negligence
- Personal liability unrelated to your business
- Claims arising from illegal activities
- Work outside your usual admin work
How much does admin assistant insurance cost?
No two insurers are the same, so it’s difficult to give a solid figure for what you might be paying for an annual insurance policy. The following will affect the price of your premiums:
- Extent of cover - The more cover you opt for, the more expensive your package is likely to be.
- Your insurer - The insurer you choose will also influence costs.
- Experience level - Your insurer could take into account how long you’ve been qualified.
- Location – Where you work is taken into consideration when calculating the price of your premiums.
Claims history - Whether or not you’ve had previous claims made against you or you have made previous claims may affect your future premiums.
