Group Life Insurance

Off by default: enable it if your policy is on the platform.

beginner· 5 views· Updated 10/13/2026

Group life cover is a statutory employer obligation in some countries (for example Nigeria under PenCom PRA §4(5)) and a voluntary staff benefit elsewhere; many employers manage it outside payroll.

Group Life is OFF by default for every business, in every country. To have AkountFly compute and post the group-life cost line in payroll, enable it under Settings → Tax.

Additionally, you can indicate Group Life coverage per employee by navigating to Edit Employee and selecting the appropriate option under Tax.
