Firm LE GOFF

Large French distribution companies, members of the National Association of Large Distribution Companies (ANGED) such as Carrefour, Leroy Merlin, Alcampo, Conforama, Feu Vert, FNAC, Toys"r"us, Norauto among others, must take out a collective life insurance contract in accordance with Article 45 of the collective agreement for the department store sector 2023-2026 (agreement code no. 99002405011982) published in the Official State Gazette of 9 June 2023. Article 45 provides as follows: "Companies, provided that they do not have a more beneficial one, shall be obliged within three months from the date of publication of this agreement to take out life insurance and absolute permanent disability for all work and severe disability for the workers affected by this agreement, for an amount of EUR 24,000, according to the usual market modality. Companies will make available to workers a certificate of accreditation with the amounts guaranteed in the collective policy and a copy of it to the workers' representation corresponding to the area in which said policy is subscribed." Our firm has been managing the group life risk policy of one of these large distribution companies for more than 15 years. The firm LE GOFF has designed an insurance policy, with a first-class insurance company of recognized solvency at an international level, which includes not only the requirements demanded by the collective agreement but also other conditions negotiated ad hoc, and in particular: The automatic discharge of insured persons without having to pass the medical questionnaire. The possibility of taking out a capital higher than that indicated in the collective agreement in order to benefit from more attractive economic conditions compared to individual insurance. Up to an insured capital of EUR 400,000, no medical questionnaire is required. Administrative error clause that guarantees coverage in the event that the company has omitted or made an error when providing the data of the personnel to be insured. Profit-sharing clause based on claims: this clause allows a part of the technical benefits to be returned annually to the company/policyholder. The formula applied for the calculation of the PB is as follows: 86% of the difference between the net premiums written during the annuity minus the amount of the claims declared during the annuity. On the result obtained, the insurance company applies a rate of 80%. The formula is the same for all insurance companies, only the rates listed may vary. Case study: annual net premium of EUR 100,000 and no claims, in this case, the insurance company will refund the policyholder an amount of EUR 68,800. In short, the annual premium results in EUR 31,200 thanks to the profit-sharing clause. As for the management of claims, our firm treats the data in the file with the beneficiary(s) with the utmost confidentiality. We offer direct support to the beneficiary(s) by informing them about all the documents required by the insurance company. Once collected, we deliver the documents to the insurer so that they can proceed with the payment of the compensation in the current account communicated by the beneficiary(s) as soon as possible. Our firm specialises in advising large French distribution companies present in Spanish territory, offering group life insurance policy in accordance with current Spanish regulations and modelled according to the client's needs, which represents a complementary advantage.
