Interim Managers Insurance – Ensuring the Professional to Work Freely
Interim Manager is not really 'between jobs' profession, but an acknowledged full-time job. Although this profession gives the freedom of being on ones own, Interim Managers are not entitled to benefits received by corporate employees. This profession does not offer security, steady income and other comforts of corporate jobs like sick pay, holiday pay or pension. Interim Managers have to get their own insurance.
Interim Managers may face disputes and litigations, even though they have only 'limited company status'. There are Interim Managers Associations that negotiate Interim Managers Insurance for a fixed amount. The providers of such insurance offer competitive rates. Interim Managers Insurance are available for interim managers working in different areas like Personal Management & Selection, HR Consultants, Sales, Marketing & PR, Procurement, Finance & Accounting, Quality Systems, Production, Distribution, Operations, Change Management, Training, Business Process Re-engineering, Company Development & Planning, Public Services Admin, Mergers & Acquisitions and others.
Professional Indemnity
Some of the Interim Manager Insurance offers Professional Indemnity Cover as a package. Interim managers can take out policy starting from standard requirement of £250k or more from companies providing such Interim Managers Insurance or even from online services of 'Simply Consultants' offering such cover before starting assignments. Premiums are fixed by cover level and expected turnover and can be up to £1M. This insurance provides crucial cover for 'Negligence Suit' to tackle defense expenses and ensuing damages to be paid. This can be either as 'aggregate' or for 'each and every' claim. No excess for first claim, but subsequently £250 for 'each and every claim'.
