Employment Practices Insurance

(05/29/2011)

Employment Practices has quickly become a new profit center for attorneys. What is Employment Practices?   It is a claim or lawsuit made by employees, former employees, or potential employees AND POSSIBLY customers. It includes discrimination (age, sex, race, disability, etc.), wrongful termination of employment, sexual harassment, and other employment-related allegations. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR BUSINESS LIABILITY INSURANCE. 

The most common examples are 1) unwanted sexual advances between employees, unwanted sexual advances between employees and customers, and 2) the alleged act of firing an employee due to their age or sex.   To protect yourself through Employment Practices Liability Insurance, please call us to discuss the available options.
