The Policy covers the loss sustained by the employer by reason of any act of forgery and/or fraud and/or dishonesty of monies and/or goods of the employer on the part of the employee Insured, committed on or after the date of commencement of the Policy during uninterrupted service with the employer.
The loss should be detected during the continuance of the Policy or within 12 calendar months of the expiry of the Policy and in the case of death, dismissal or retirement of the employee within 12 calendar months of such death or dismissal or retirement whichever is earlier.

- The blanket policy: covers all guaranteed employees
- Collective policy: covers named and unnamed individuals
- Individual policy: Covers one person and responds to theft or fraud by the person within the policy period and terms of employment.
