ACC Premiums
ACC CoverPlus
ACC CoverPlus is ACC's standard personal injury cover for self-employed people. It automatically applies when you start self-employment. It includes 24-hour no-fault cover for work-related and non-work related personal injuries, including access to the full range of medical treatment and rehabilitation benefits and up to 80% compensation for lost earnings.
ACC CoverPlus Extra
Acc CoverPlus Extra is an optional product that lets self-employed people and non-PAYE shareholder employees negotiate a pre-agreed level of lost earning compensation. This way you know exactly how much you'll receive each week if you are injured and can't work - whether the injury is work-related or not. If you choose ACC CoverPlus Extra, this will replace your standar ACC CoverPlus product.
Shareholder-employee
A shareholder-employee is someone who owns part of a 'close' company (shareholder) and also works for the company (employee). Being employed through your own company can mean wearing more than one hat. You have responsibilities as company shareholder, as well as a business employer and an employee, all at the same time.
If you DO NOT work through you own company but you work as a sole trader, in a partnership, or receive withholding or schedular payments, you are considered self-employed.
How to pay less
ACC offers a number of ways for business to reduce their levy payments by working to reduce risks in the workplace.
