Employment Practices Liability insurance

Protection in the age of #metoo.

The unending headlines on sexual harassment in the workplace have put the focus on the need for a cultural change and for stronger businesses practices. Along with harassment allegations, claims of discrimination (race, gender, age, disability), wrongful termination, and retaliatory termination top the list of employment practices disputes that can land an employer in court. Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) provides broad coverage for alleged “wrongful employment practices,” “employment claims,” or similar catchall terms. It works to provide the necessary resources to defend a company against a lawsuit or to pay for a claim.
