Frequently asked questions

Workers' Compensation Insurance in Angola — your questions

Is Workers' Compensation insurance mandatory in Angola?
Yes. The General Labour Law of the Republic of Angola requires all employing entities to contract insurance covering workplace accidents of their employees. The absence of this policy constitutes an infraction, with administrative sanctions and direct liability of the employer in case of loss.
How is the Workers' Compensation premium calculated?
The premium is calculated based on the annual payroll and the professional category of each employee (which defines the risk level). Sectors such as construction, transport and industry have higher rates than administrative activities. HEXA always presents comparative proposals from several insurers.
What does the company do in case of a workplace accident?
It must ensure immediate medical assistance, report the accident to the insurer within the legal deadline (usually 24h) and contact HEXA. Our team handles the report to the insurer, medical follow-up and management of any compensation, relieving the HR department.
Does the policy cover workers travelling outside the office?
Yes. Coverage applies throughout the working day — including business trips, training outside the premises and, under certain conditions, the home-work commute (commuting accidents). HEXA confirms the exact extent of each policy.
Can I transfer the current policy to HEXA's management?
Yes. Transferring the management of an already contracted policy is simple — just a formal authorisation to the insurer. No additional cost and no change in conditions. HEXA then takes over as the company's single point of contact.
