Brokerage/Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)
Businesses are flocking to the shelter of Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) in response to the recent explosion of employment law liability claims. Employers are finding that they are vulnerable from the pre-hiring process through the exit interview, even if the employee was at the company a matter of days. This policy provides liability insurance protection for the business entity, and/or its directors, officers and employees for allegations, administrative proceedings and suits relating to:
- Wrongful dismissal, discharge or termination of employment
- Employment-related misrepresentation
- Violation of employment discrimination laws
- Sexual and other harassment
- Wrongful failure to hire or grant tenure
- Negligent evaluation
- Retaliation
- Invasion of privacy
- Employment-related defamation, infliction of emotional distress
