Employment Practices Liability Insurance

Employment practices liability insurance (EPLI) protects businesses from claims brought by current, former, or prospective employees alleging violations of their employment rights. Claims of discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, retaliation, failure to promote, and wage and hour violations are among the most common — and expensive — legal actions facing businesses today. Even an unfounded claim can result in significant legal fees. EPLI helps protect your business from the financial consequences of these allegations and provides access to legal defense resources.

No — employment-related claims are specifically excluded from general liability policies. EPLI is a separate, specialized policy designed specifically for the employment relationship. Most businesses with even a handful of employees should consider it.
