Employment Practices Liability Insurance

COVER YOUR RISK

Employment-related lawsuits are a growing concern for employers of all sizes. As costs for litigation and damage awards climb, experts predict that employment liability will only become more complex. As a result, it is critical for employers to understand their exposures and options to manage the risk.

EPL insurance coverage is the most useful risk management tool used in defending against a suit or paying a claim. In fact, evidence of desirable practices and policies will be required to obtain EPL coverage. Typically, GDI Insurance Agency requires a copy of your employee handbook, which should cover the following policies: In addition, you will be asked to provide the most recent annual report or SEC 10-K, the list of entities proposed for the coverage, and most recent EEO-1 reports.
