Employer Policy
It is compulsory for employees of the Gerber Goldschmidt Group to belong to the Momentum Health Medical Scheme, except if they elect to remain on their spouse/partner’s medical scheme as a dependant.
Employees need to join within 90 days from their date of permanent employment to avoid medical underwriting (waiting periods, exclusions and/or late joiner penalties).
Gap Cover is offered via MomentumGap, which offers a seamless claims process. However, as gap cover is offered on a voluntary basis, waiting periods may be imposed.
