and redundancy insurance as unemployment cover is generally seriously
restricted to cover only events that are entirely beyond the control
of the insured person. Typical exclusions include dismissal following
professional misconduct and any act of voluntary redundancy. The
accident and sickness cover will also be subject to major restrictions
such as any act of self-injury or any injury related to the use
of alcohol or drugs.
