Employment Practices Liability (EPLI)

Coverage for Employee-Related Claims That Can Derail Your Business

Even with strong HR policies in place, businesses face risk of employee lawsuits. Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) protects you from claims of discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, or wage disputes. Advisors helps you understand what EPLI covers, how it integrates with your other policies, and which carriers best fit your business.

Protection That Goes Beyond HR Policies

Workplace lawsuits are expensive to defend—even if they never reach a settlement. EPLI pays for defense costs as well as potential damages, helping your business avoid financial disruption. Advisors also reviews your contracts and handbooks to reduce exposures, while tailoring coverage to your workforce and industry.

Pro Tip: Don’t assume a small staff means no risk. Businesses of every size can face employee-related claims, and defense costs alone can be significant.
“Even the best employers can face employee claims. EPLI ensures you’re financially protected so one lawsuit doesn’t jeopardize everything you’ve built.”
