WORKPLACE ISSUES
Greater enforcement by the EEOC and other regulatory agencies, broader legislation and an increasingly demanding workforce have put employment practices in the spotlight. How well you communicate with your workers, your best practices and commitment to compliance, and the insurance safety net in place determine how effective you will be in addressing the costs that may result from an employee lawsuit.
Employment Practices Liability Insurance with the Byrnes Agency
Protect Your Business Against Employee-Related Lawsuits
Headline after headline today highlights the rise in employee lawsuits — from wrongful termination suits to discrimination, sexual harassment, and wage and hour disputes. Some industries are harder hit than others, such as the food or hospitality industries and retailers where you have thousands of hourly employees. But all businesses are open to lawsuits from employees.
EPLI Coverage
Your best protection lies with Employment Practices Liability (EPLI) insurance coverage from the Byrnes Agency. This policy can cover you against wrongful termination, discrimination, breach of contract, disciplinary issues, sexual harassment, failure to promote, negligent evaluation, deprivation of career opportunity, wage-and-hour disputes (with sub-limits if available), and more.
The policy covers your legal counsel and court costs regardless of the outcome. The cost of the policy will depend on your company’s size and other risk factors that we will review with you.
