Don't Leave Small Business Clients Exposed to Workplace Charges


With an increasing number of work-related lawsuits directed at smaller businesses, more insurers are including employment practices liability (EPL) coverage in their product offerings to protect clients from this costly exposure.

ALL EMPLOYERS ARE AT RISK
Demand for EPL coverage is growing among smaller organizations as insureds and insurers realize that charges of sexual harassment and other complaints are directed at employers of any size. The challenge is to find quality coverage that is reasonably priced and easy to include since most EPL policies are priced for large employers and require individual underwriting, lengthy applications and separate quotes.
