Employee Practices Liability Insurance

EPLI (Employee Practices Liability Insurance) can provide companies an extra layer of protection. EPLI helps protect companies of various sizes against employee claims and lawsuits.

No matter what industry you are in, employees come and go. Many businesses see a lot of turnovers in their workforce. With employees coming and going, how are you to protect yourself from wrongful termination lawsuits? Over the last few years, there has been an exponential increase in claims by employees alleging wrongful termination, sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. The fact that recent settlements and judgments have averaged six-figure amounts encourages employees to pursue such legal actions against former employers.

Companies should not be punished because they choose to downsize due to financial problems. Disgruntled former employees can wreak havoc on a company by making accusations of discrimination or harassment. EPLI (Employee Practices Liability Insurance) can provide companies a layer of protection. EPLI helps protect companies of various sizes against employee claims and lawsuits.
