Simplify Employee Benefits With Kota

Maternity Benefit and other social welfare payments can support expecting or new mothers.

But as an employer, you’d want to extend more comprehensive health insurance support to your team, right?

This is where Kota can help.

With Kota, you can provide health insurance for your employees without the hassles of brokers, paperwork, or admin overheads!

Besides, you can support your team members even if they don’t have the PRSI contributions required for Maternity Benefit.

How does Kota work?

Once employers decide on their contribution, employees can pick plans with maternity coverage per their needs.

For instance, with the Irish Life Health 4D Health 1 Plan, an employee on maternity leave can get home birth coverage of up to €4,000 and three nights of public hospital accommodation.

They can also choose from several add-on benefits, like coverage for antenatal classes, breastfeeding consultancy, etc.

So why not join Kota to simplify employee benefit management?
