Employment Practices Liability Insurance: Protect Your Business from Employee Claims
Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) is an important type of insurance that helps businesses protect themselves from lawsuits related to their employees. These lawsuits can involve claims like discrimination, wrongful termination, or harassment. If you own a business, EPLI is a crucial part of your business insurance and risk management services to avoid expensive legal fees and potential settlements.
What Is Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)?
EPLI is designed to protect your business from lawsuits brought by employees, former employees, or job applicants. These lawsuits often focus on claims like:

- Harassment: Any form of harassment in the workplace, like sexual harassment or bullying.
- Retaliation: Punishing an employee for reporting misconduct or claiming their rights.
EPLI helps pay for the legal costs of defending against these claims, as well as any settlements or judgments that may result from them.
