Hiring temporary workers or freelancers offers fantastic flexibility, but it can also bring unexpected costs and administrative headaches – particularly when it comes to insurance. Many freelance platforms used to leave you to handle this yourself, adding complexity and risk to your projects. Temper is paving the way for greater protections by partnering with Alicia Insurance to provide a number of insurances to professionals working via the Temper platform. We call our offering FreeSecurity, and with this, we bring peace of mind to both you and the shift workers.
What is FreeSecurity and how does it ensure peace of mind, not just for the freelancers, but your business, too?
Why is Comprehensive Insurance Important?
Hiring can typically involve a complex, costly and time-consuming process. For example, with the struggle of establishing suitable coverage is in place. Most businesses struggle with the burden of finding or checking suitable insurance coverages, managing premiums, and dealing with claims—all of which can divert focus from core business activities. Comprehensive insurance through FreeSecurity addresses these challenges directly by providing all necessary protections in one package. This not only simplifies the insurance process, but also lowers potential legal and financial risks associated with freelance work.
FreeSecurity: Comprehensive Coverage
With FreeSecurity, our FreeFlexers arrive ready to work with truly comprehensive insurance in place. This unique program includes accident insurance (up to €50,000) for potential medical expenses, disability, or if a freelancer is injured on the job. It also provides business liability insurance, protecting your business from unexpected liability due to property damage or accidental injury during a shift. To give more peace of mind for freelancers, we've even included unique sick pay support for FreeFlexers who become ill. The full benefits are explained in more detail here.
Beyond Insurance: Designed for Business Needs
FreeSecurity isn't just about insurance protection; it's about simplifying the freelance engagement process, too. We understand that work situations can be stressful, this is why so the freelancers have access to confidential counselling support—helping them stay productive and focused. And when a freelancer can't make a shift, our platform makes it straightforward for them to find a qualified replacement quickly.
The Proof: Financially Supporting Over 250 Freelancers
Since launching FreeSecurity, we've seen firsthand how it benefits everyone involved. Over 250 freelancers have received support when they needed it most, including some who were out of work for over 9 months due to serious injuries. Monthly sick pay benefits range from €300 to €2500, helping FreeFlexers stay afloat during illness. Over 50 freelancers have also received €500 of additional support payments during moments of family joy and loss.
Consistent Improvements to FreeSecurity
Our commitment to continuous improvement ensures that FreeSecurity stays ahead of the market's needs. We actively seek feedback from our clients and freelancers to refine and enhance our offerings. Recent upgrades include:
- Enhanced Disability Coverage: We’ve increased our accident insurance benefits, now covering up to €1000 for personal property damage that may occur during an accident. This improvement is crucial for freelancers who rely heavily on their tools and equipment.
- Improved Business Liability: Our business liability insurance has been fortified, ensuring that damages over €75 are now covered in full.
- Refined claims handling process: since launching the insurance program, based on the data and experience gathered, our partner Alicia has completely rebuilt the claims funnel aiming to make it more simple and efficient for the users.
These improvements not only enhance the value of our service but also underscore our dedication to supporting the evolving needs of freelancers and the businesses that hire them.
