Protect Your Business with Employment Practices Liability Insurance
Employment practices liability insurance (EPL insurance) provides coverage against loss incurred in litigating and settling wrongful employment practices liability claims. This includes claims of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, or other inappropriate or unlawful workplace activity. EPL insurance policies can also include coverage for claims alleged by an individual outside of the employment relationship such as a vendor, supplier or customer.
Employment Practices Liability Insurance Claims Can Be Costly
Even when a claim is brought by a single employee, there is the potential for copycat claims by other employees. This makes resolution of an employment practices claim more complicated than other types of claims. Many employment claims allow for an award of punitive or multiplied damages as well, which can significantly increase the financial exposure to the employer. Even for claims that appear to be meritless, the costs to defend such claims, and in particular attorney’s fees and expenses, quickly mount up.

Each insurer has its own policy form and its own methodology for evaluating and underwriting the EPL risk.
