What Is Employment Practices Liability Insurance

Published by admin under business solutions

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.

If you have questions about EPLI coverage, call us. We can be reached at 1-888-582-8388.

What Do You Know About Workers’ Compensation?

Published by admin under workers compensation

Yes, your business is covered under a workers’ compensation policy. But do you really understand what that means?

According to a recent survey by Employers.com, 14% of small business owners couldn’t even name the insurance company that insures them. 18% of employers who recently switched their insurance provider could not recall that company name, either.

And it’s not just the name that eludes employers. In the same survey, 13% admitted that they did not understand how workers’ comp protects their business and its employees. Seven out of ten employers relied on an insurance agent to explain their coverage, but 58% state they carry the sole burden on handling the “hands-on” duties involved.

Workers’ compensation is based on a complicated formula that includes many different factors. It’s a huge benefit to have a specialist that understands the differences in policies. Just making sure your business is correctly categorized can save you lots of money!
