FAQs
Common Questions from Bars & Nightclubs Businesses
Are bars particularly vulnerable to harassment claims?
Yes. The combination of late-night work, alcohol service, and close customer contact creates elevated harassment claim risk. EPLI is strongly recommended for any bar or nightclub.
Does EPLI cover claims from customers as well as employees?
Some policies offer third-party EPLI coverage for harassment claims from customers, vendors, or others. Ask your agent about this option if your venue has significant customer interaction with staff.
Aren't I already covered by general liability?
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.
Does EPLI cover wage and hour violations?
Standard EPLI policies typically do not cover wage and hour class action claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Some carriers offer a limited endorsement. It's an important detail to review. A licensed agent can explain what's included and what's excluded.
