With supplementary accident insurance (UVGZ), employers can cover their employees in addition to mandatory accident insurance.
UVGZ insurance can be used at the following levels: daily allowance (up to 100% of salary), medical expenses (semi-private or private ward), and long-term loss of earnings (additional pensions or compensation). As you can see, there are many opportunities to better protect yourself with UVG.

KTG Insurance – Compare and save
In the event of illness or maternity leave, employees receive their salary for a certain period, even if they are absent from work. This is required by law.
Employers can protect themselves against these costs with KTG (German Social Insurance). KTG insurance is voluntary but highly recommended, as it protects the company from high costs in the event of prolonged illness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Pension fund contracts typically have a term of three to five years. Check your contract to see if termination is possible. After the contract expires, the term will automatically be extended by one year if you don’t terminate in time. The notice period is normally six months; a change is possible at the end of the year.
If you decide to change your pension fund, you may want to add additional insurance. Combination and savings packages are often offered for simultaneous switching from UVG (accident insurance) and KTG (daily sickness benefit insurance).
If you work more than 8 hours a week for the same employer, your employer must take out an UVG insurance policy for you.
Sickness benefit insurance is often taken out together with occupational pension provision (BVG) to save on risk premiums and avoid coverage gaps due to delayed disability benefits payments. If you take out sickness benefit insurance together with occupational pension provision (BVG) with the same insurance company, you often benefit from better terms.
