Employment Practices

Many business owner’s incorrectly assume that coverage for discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination will be provided under their General Liability policy. Unfortunately, most General Liability policies will not grant protection to the organization for these types of allegations. A specific Employment Practices Liability policy must be purchased to adequately shield the organization from a devastating lawsuit or investigation.

A few of the types of lawsuits that would be covered under an Employment Practices Liability policy are listed below:

• Sexual Harassment
• Wrongful Termination
• Discrimination in hiring, promotion or everyday operations
• Statute Violation – (Americans with Disabilities Act, Civil Rights Act, etc.)
• Breach of employment contract
• Wrongful discipline
• Deprivation of career opportunity
• Wrongful infliction of emotional distress
• Mismanagement of employee benefit plans
