Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)
"EPLI is essential for every enterprise with employees."
EPLI provide financial protection to businesses in the event of claims made by workers asserting that their legal rights as employees of the company have been violated.
This type of insurance became established in the 1980’s and has become increasingly popular as EEOC and employer/employee related claims have become more frequent and more extreme.
Frequently Allegations of sexual harassment, hostile workplaces, discrimination, Wrongful Discipline, wrongful termination and retaliation can be made by employees.
With the current economic climate expectations are high and claims for failure to hire, deprivation of career opportunity and discrimination are often launched by job applicants and third parties.
As the regulatory environment changes the obligations of employers become more complex.
These factors leave businesses open to civil suits, and costly settlements. Even if the allegations are proven untrue the defense costs alone can be punitive.
EPLI can protect firms from serious negative financial consequences.
Red Lion arranges EPLI programs all types of businesses.
We also offer programs especially tailored to the needs of the temporary staffing & PEO industries including policies which will recognize any unique co-employer relationship that exists.
Comprehensive risk management and human resources training services are made available to policy holders as a part of the insurance program at no additional charge.
