Fidelity Guarantee Insurance

The type is categorized based on the employee(s) whose fraudulent acts will be insured. Hence, we have 4 types of Fidelity Guarantee covers namely;

1. INDIVIDUAL POLICY: this is issued where only one employee is covered by name for a stated amount.
2. COLLECTIVE POLICY

1. Named Collective: this incorporate a schedule containing the names and duties of guaranteed individuals. The amount of guarantee is set against each name; this can be an individual sum or floating sum over the whole schedule. The disadvantage of this is continuous change in staff
2. Unnamed Collective: employees are covered by category [for example, 2 Managers, 24 Cashiers, 10 Clerks]. The amount of guarantee can be on either a floating or per capital basis 
3. BLANKET POLICY: a form of unnamed policy which includes all employees without showing names or positions.
4. POSITION POLICY: this is usually issued for Local Government guarantees. Instead of using names, the Position is guarantee for a specified amount so that a change in the person holding the position does not affect the over.

This is a formal document that contains the details of the Insured, Policy Schedule, Key Covers of the Policy, as well as the Extensions/Exclusions and Clauses/Warrantees of the Insurance Contract.

It serves as the Contractual Agreement between the Insured and the Insurance Company
