Protecting budgets since 1997
Staff Absence Insurance (SAI) is a way for schools/academies to protect their budgets from the cost of staff absence. Having a SAI policy allows you to claim a daily sum of money (daily benefit) for each day staff are absent from work. Which can be used to cover the costs of supply, or be utilised elsewhere in the school/academy budget.
UK's most trusted Staff Absence provider
Staff Absence Insurance provides stability, you have a fixed fee (insurance premium) which you can claim back to cover the costs caused by staff absence.
Another benefit is fund certainty for planned absences such as maternity, you can cover maternities and give staff more flexible options for returning to work. With SAS you have the ability to choose maternity reimbursements as as a lump sum or calculate as a net cost for the school.
Staff Absence Insurance policies with Schools Advisory Service have complementary wellbeing services which are designed to meet the needs of school staff and reduce absences.
