What is EPL?
It is a type of coverage that protects employers against claims made by employees alleging workplace-related issues. This can include wrongful termination, discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, and other employment-related issues. EPLI helps cover legal costs, settlements, and judgments related to such claims, offering financial protection and support in handling employment disputes.
Basic Coverages
Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) typically covers the following basic areas:
- Wrongful Termination: Claims that an employee was fired in violation of employment laws or contractual agreements.
- Discrimination: Claims related to unfair treatment based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, or other protected characteristics.
- Sexual Harassment: Claims of inappropriate behavior or advances in the workplace.
- Retaliation: Claims that an employee was punished for reporting unlawful practices or participating in investigations.
- Employment-Related Misrepresentation: Claims that an employer made false statements about job conditions or other employment-related matters.
- Failure to Promote: Claims alleging that an employee was unfairly denied a promotion or advancement.
These coverages help businesses manage legal costs and potential damages arising from such claims.
Add on coverages
In addition to the basic coverages, Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) policies can offer various add-on coverages or endorsements to provide more comprehensive protection. Some common add-ons include:
- Third-Party Coverage: Extends protection to claims made by non-employees, such as customers or vendors, alleging harassment or discrimination by employees.
- Wage and Hour Disputes: Covers claims related to wage and hour issues, such as unpaid overtime or misclassification of employees.
- Pre-Employment Practices: Covers claims arising from wrongful acts during the hiring process, such as failure to hire or misrepresentation in job advertisements.
- Defense Costs Outside the Limit: Provides coverage for legal defense costs that are separate from the policy limits, which can be crucial for high-cost legal battles.
- Employment Practices Liability for Directors and Officers: Extends coverage to senior executives and board members for their employment-related decisions and actions.
- Employment Benefits Liability: Covers claims related to errors or omissions in the administration of employee benefit plans.
These add-ons help tailor EPLI coverage to the specific needs and risks of a business.
