Benefits of International Business Travel Insurance for Small Business

Hiring globally or remotely brings new challenges, as does sending employees out-of-country to work on behalf of your company, which is often necessary to meet the needs of the global marketplace, even for small businesses. Fortunately, protecting your employees abroad doesn’t have to be a barrier to growing your business by working effectively across country boundaries.   

At Justworks, we’re committed to helping our clients effectively navigate employment-related challenges at home and abroad, including international travel risk management. Not only does Justworks have your back with powerful HR tools, payroll services, and compliance assistance, we are here to help you navigate the unique risk management challenges associated with international business travel. How can we help? We’re so glad you asked. The answer is Justworks Travel Assist. 

Get to Know Justworks Travel Assist

Justworks Travel Assist provides international business travel insurance coverage to clients’ employees managed under Justworks’ Employer of Record solution, ensuring your team members have access to the emergency medical, security, legal, and personal assistance they need while traveling for work, whenever they need it. Sounds great, right? It gets even better. 

What’s better than comprehensive international travel coverage? For Justworks Employer of Record (EOR) customers, the answer is “the cost.” That’s because Justworks Travel Assist is included with our EOR solution at no additional fee. Additionally, no action is required from company administrators to implement this benefit. Instead, all EOR employees will be automatically enrolled in Justworks Travel Assist coverage, with no fee to them or to the company.  

Justworks Travel Assist Coverage

Whether you’re expanding operations to Europe or elsewhere, or if you’re sending employees abroad for professional development or to meet with potential customers, their home country benefits aren’t likely to cover every risk they could face while traveling far from home. That’s where Justworks Travel Assist comes in. 

This powerful benefit – which has no added cost to our EOR customers, offers exponential value in terms of international travel protection for business trips, as well as for other work-related travel that take your team members 100 or more miles from home. Key aspects of Justworks Travel Assist coverage include: 

• Medical & Security Assistance: Emergency medical treatment, evacuation, and repatriation services.

• Trip Protection: Coverage for lost baggage, delays, and trip cancellations.

• Crisis Support: Security evacuation for political unrest or natural disasters.

• Additional Services: Legal referrals, translation services, emergency cash advances, and personal assistance for travelers. 

Simply put, Justworks Travel Assist ensures that your employees who travel 100+ miles from home—in or out of their home country—have access to expert support at any time and in any location. Both you and your employees will benefit from the peace of mind that comes with knowing that they can access 24/7 emergency assistance, from medical evacuations to lost passport replacements.

Justworks Can Help With International Travel Protection Needs

Expanding globally presents new challenges but protecting employee well-being when traveling out of the country doesn’t have to be difficult, costly, or time-consuming. With Justworks Travel Assist, small businesses have access to a value-added solution to protect and support employees who are traveling for business, without having to take on any extra administrative burden or fees. 

Justworks Travel Assist is just one of many ways we provide EOR customers and their employees with access to benefits programs comparable to those offered by much larger companies. We know that your employees deserve this level of protection, and we’re proud to empower you to offer it without any added costs or administrative burden. If you’re not already working with Justworks as an EOR customer, there’s never been a better time to get started. Reach out to Justworks today. You’ll soon be on your way to providing employees who travel far from home in the course of their jobs with 24/7 global assistance and comprehensive travel protection.
