When an employee travels on behalf of the business be it abroad or within the UK it is the
firm’s responsibility to insure employees under a group travel insurance. Below is an extract from a newsletter published by our sister company MPI Brokers:
'Firms sending staff on business trips – in the UK or abroad – hold a ‘duty of care’ under
employment law. This means they must provide for, typically, medical expenses, repatriation
and a 24-hour emergency medical assistance helpline as well as travel delays, loss of
personal effects, public liability and so on'
