  • Collective Policy:
    • Preferable when two or more employees are to be covered.
    • Schedule sets out the names and positions of the employees, and the amount for which each is covered.
  • Floating Policy:
    • Individual employees are named, but only one amount of guarantee is given under a Floating policy, i.e. only one amount of insurance "floats" over all persons covered.
    • Amount of guarantee stipulates the maximum amount for which insurers are liable regardless of the number of fualts occurred or the number of employees involved in the default.
  • Blanket Policy:

    • Amount of cover may be per employee or per loss occurrence.
