EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES LIABILITY
Driven by an explosion of employment-related lawsuits, Employment Practices Liability (EPL) coverage is a growing line of insurance.These suits can be costly…hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. Even an employment related claim without merit can cost an employer $10,000 – $20,000 to defend.
EPL insurance typically provides coverage for employment claims stemming from the following areas:
- Wrongful employment (hiring or termination)
- Sexual harassment
- Discrimination
There are many factors that go into selecting and pricing professional risks:
- Number of employees
- Location of the risk
- Industry
- Employment practices
- Loss experience
- Operating characteristics
Because of these variables, EPL policies come in a wide range of types and are offered by a number of different insurers.
Comprehensive, competitively priced coverage is available through Gordon Atlantic Insurance for all types and sizes of accounts. We can provide either stand-alone EPL or EPL coverage as an extension of a Directors and Officers or other type policy. To discuss your exposure call us toll free at 1-800-649-3252.
