Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)

Nearly every business is vulnerable to allegations of wrongful employment acts. Strong personnel policies and programs are a company’s first line of defense. Employment practices liability insurance (EPLI) is another layer of protection against employee claims that their legal rights have been violated.

What does Employment Practices Liability Insurance Cover?

EPLI coverage mitigates the financial impact on small businesses

  • Wrongful termination
  • Harassment (including sexual harassment)
  • Discrimination
  • Retaliation
  • Libel, slander, defamation and invasion of privacy
