There are circumstances under which an employee may elect or be reassigned to a position in a lower salary band. When an employee is reassigned to a job in a lower salary band on an involuntary basis, the employeeâs salary may be decreased to reflect the responsibilities of the new job. The supervisor and Human Resources will discuss salary implications in advance of the employeeâs change in position.
Term life insurance covers a person for a fixed term, usually 10 or 20 years, though some companies offer term policies in one-year increments from three to 30 years. Whole life insurance, by contrast, provides coverage from the day a person takes out the policy until the day he dies.
Insurance companies must pay the proceeds of the life insurance policy to the beneficiary within two months of receiving proof of death and verifying the beneficiary. For an individual life policy, the company must also pay interest on a death benefit from the time the company receives the proof of loss statement to the time the company accepts the claim and offers to pay the death benefit.
