Employers Practices Liability (EPLI)

What Is Employment Practices Liability Insurance?

Employment practices liability insurance (EPLI) helps protect your business from employment-related claims, like:

• Discrimination (age, gender, race, religion, etc.)
• Retaliation
• Violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act
• Wrongful discipline
• Wrongful failure to promote
• Wrongful termination
• Harassment of any kind including sexual harassment

Common employee complaints are centered around wage and hourly violations. This is because employees accuse employers of misclassifying employment status or miscommunicating their eligibility for overtime.
