The agreement in this regard was renewed on 29th August 2012 between

Authority. Dr. Priyath B.Wickrama - Chairman of SLPA signed the
agreement on behalf of SLPA while the Managing Director of SLIC, Mohan
De Alwis signed on behalf of the Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation.
The scheme will be effective from the 01st September 2012 up 31st
August 2013.
Accordingly, the annual premium for each permanent employee under the
health medical insurance policy for the employees will be paid by the
SLPA and no charge will be levied from an employee for obtaining the
membership of this Medical Scheme. In addition, if an employee wishes to
introduce his or her spouse or children to this scheme, the SLPA will
make arrangements to pay the total premium on the basis that the
employee agrees to deduct the premium from his or her salary.
This policy shelters the employees from a number of key areas that
cover hospital charges, medical check-ups, child births, accidents as
well as a number of other medical requirements.
The implementation of this Medical Insurance Scheme at SLPA is
expected to further strengthen the quality of life and welfare of
employees and the human resource development procedures currently
implemented at the institution as a major area of focus. The SLPA
considers a well-looked-after workforce is a major underpinning for
organizational growth and development. This Medical Insurance Scheme
aims at achieving the above proposition. |
