How You Can Be Affected

Employment Practices Liability.

As an employer, you face the very real possibility of employment-related lawsuits brought by disgruntled employees or ex-employees. EPL claims can be expensive to defend, so don’t go it alone. Get the coverage you need to protect your assets

Lawsuits might include allegations of:

  • Wrongful termination
  • Sexual harassment
  • Discrimination based on sex, age, disability, or race.
  • Failure to hire or promote.
  • Retaliation

And they might arise out of federal laws regulating employment, such as:

  • Civil Rights Act of 1966
  • Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
  • Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967
  • Rehabilitation Act of 1973
  • Covid Rights Act of 1991
  • Family Leave Act of 1991

If your agency has fewer than 10 employees, EPL coverage can be added to your Swiss Re Corporate Solutions E&O policy by endorsement.

If your agency has 10 or more employees or desires broader coverage with a standalone EPL policy (which we recommend), we can provide coverage through one of our brokers with coverage features that include third-party coverage, prior acts, and limits up to $5 million.
