Questions about EPL coverage
What is employment practices liability coverage?
Employment practices liability coverage protects an employer against an employee's claims of discrimination (age, sex, race, disability, etc.), wrongful termination, and sexual harassment.
Why do I need employment practices liability coverage?
Employment practices claims are on the rise. In 2001 alone, 80,840 charges were filed with the EEOC. In an economy where restructuring and layoffs are becoming common, there is an even greater potential for costly lawsuits. Employment practices liability coverage is a practical way to reduce your potential exposures to these lawsuits, all of which can cost your firm a lot of money-even when the charge is completely without merit.
