POLICYHOLDER'S GUIDE

Caravela - Companhia de Seguros S.A. has, as one of its biggest commitments, the protection of its Customers.

Our teams are ready to provide you with the service you need to management of your policy, but your contribution is crucial.

PREVENTION AND SAFETY OF ITS WORKERS

It is the responsibility of employers to ensure the safety conditions of their employees in the execution of their tasks. Should you need it, Caravela is at your disposal to collaborate with you in identifying some measures that reduce the risk of accident, which may also lead to a possible reduction in the insurance premium.

UPDATING INSURED PERSONS ON THE POLICY

Variable Premium Contracts

In variable bonus contracts, the Employer must ensure that the workers' pay slips, known as holiday pay slips, are sent out by the 15th of the following month. The holiday pay slips must include all remunerations paid to the employees on a regular basis (base salary, holiday bonus, Christmas bonus, food subsidy and other remunerations).

The holiday leaf files should preferably be in TXT or EUR format, in order to allow their automatic processing. They may be sent through your Insurance Agent or through the MyCaravela Customer area, at http://cliente.caravelaseguros.pt, using your customer number, which is displayed in the top left-hand corner of Caravela communications.

Sending the files through these channels allows not only to validate that the file being submitted has the correct structure, but also to build the pay slips with the correct structure, from a file you already have or even from the file you send to Social Security, according to the guidelines of the Portuguese Insurers Association.

If for any reason you are unable to submit your holiday travel arrangements on MyCaravela or send them to your Agent, you can, as a last resort, send them via email to folhas.remuneracoes@caravelaseguros.pt.

Failure to send holiday sheets may result in an increase of the insurance premium, in accordance with the provisions of point 4 of Special Condition 01, included in the General Conditions of the Uniform Policy of Occupational Accidents. Also know that, without them, Caravela Seguros is unable to make any payment of wages to its employees, in the event of a claim.

Fixed Premium Contracts

The contract must include all remunerations paid to employees on a regular basis (basic salary, holiday allowance, Christmas bonus, food allowance and other remuneration).
