Our employment practices liability insurance (EPLI) helps protect customers from the financial impact of an employment-related lawsuit.
Interviews, performance reviews, promotions, even dismissals – all are regular aspects of running a business. These everyday personnel activities can also pose significant risk to companies when current, past, or potential employees claim discrimination or other wrongful employment practices.
As jury awards and settlements continue to rise, the impact of discrimination claims or other allegations can be devastating to a company’s reputation and bottom line.
