What Is Employment Practices Liability Insurance
One of the insurances many employee leasing companies / PEOs are providing to their clients in today’s lawsuit-happy world is EPLI coverage. When your business is protected with EPLI you are covered from a variety of claims, including:
· Sexual harassment
· Wrongful termination
· Discrimination
· Slander and Defamation
You’ve probably heard about large Employment Practices Liability cases on the news, which many times have reached well over a million dollars. The EPLI covers costs related to defense expenses, judgments and settlements- even back pay.
It’s important to ask what the per-occurrence deductible and maximum limits are, as they can vary by company. A common deductible can range between $10,000 and $25,000 with a $1 million limit of liability per occurrence.
