2024 life and AD&D insurance plans
Basic life and AD&D insurance
Carlisle provides company-paid employee life insurance coverage of a specific amount that lasts throughout your employment.
Supplemental life and AD&D insurance
If you want additional coverage, you can buy supplemental life and AD&D insurance for yourself and your family.
Be sure to name a beneficiary
Designate a beneficiary (and keep it up-to-date) in order to receive the benefit paid by a life insurance policy. Visit the MyADP website to add or change a beneficiary.
Basic Life and AD&D Insurance
Carlisle provides basic life and AD&D insurance to assist you and your family in the event of a death or dismemberment. These benefits are fully paid by the company and coverage is automatic — you do not need to enroll.
Benefits are equal to:
- Basic life insurance: 2x your base annual earnings rounded to the next higher $1,000 (not to exceed $1,000,000).
- Basic AD&D insurance: Provided as part of basic life coverage.
What is AD&D insurance?
If you lose your life, sight, hearing, speech, or use of your limb(s) in an accident, AD&D insurance provides additional benefits to help keep your family financially secure. AD&D benefits are paid as a percentage of your coverage amount — from 50% to 100% — depending on the type of loss.
How company-paid life insurance is taxed
The IRS requires you to pay taxes on the value of any company-paid life insurance coverage over $50,000. This is called imputed income; you’ll notice it on your pay statements and your W-2.
Supplemental Life and AD&D Insurance
For more financial protection beyond Carlisle’s basic coverage, you can buy supplemental life and AD&D insurance for yourself and your family members. You can enroll on the MyADP website as a new hire, during Open Enrollment, or if you have a qualifying life event. You pay the full cost of this coverage, which is provided through Prudential. You must purchase coverage for yourself in order to purchase it for your dependents.
Supplemental life and AD&D insurance options

Evidence of insurability
Supplemental life insurance for you and your spouse over a certain benefit amount may require evidence of insurability (EOI), or proof of good health. You will receive more information after electing coverage if EOI is required.
Business Travel Accident Insurance
When traveling on behalf of the company, you are protected under a company-paid business travel accident insurance policy. This policy through AIG provides coverage for certain injuries or death resulting from an accident during business travel.
You are covered for five times your annual base salary, up to a maximum benefit of $250,000 and a maximum of $1,250,000. An aggregate limit payable of $6,250,000 per aircraft accident is also included.
Covered Losses
The table below shows losses that are covered under the accident plan and the corresponding benefit amount shown as a percentage of the covered person’s principal amount. These benefit amounts will be paid only if:
- Your death occurs within 365 days from the date of the accident.
