Confirm in your quote.

The reviewed EPLI page does not name the insurer that would issue a policy; coverage terms, conditions and availability are described as varying by carrier, state and individual circumstances. ⁷Not publicly disclosed. EPLI product page as read on 2026-09-23.

AIG presents Employment Edge for employers and also lists EPL applications for private companies, nonprofits and financial institutions. The public page does not state a complete eligibility or jurisdiction schedule. ³Company-reported. Audience is the segment AIG names on the linked source; this is not an underwriting decision, quote or guarantee of availability.

Alliance Risk targets EPLI at small businesses under 50 employees, high-risk industries such as healthcare, staffing, retail and hospitality, multi-state employers, and companies with complex workforces including contractors and foreign nationals. ⁷Company-reported. EPLI product page; eligibility for a particular company depends on underwriting.

Alliance Risk says a company should add EPLI coverage as it crosses into double-digit headcount, since employment claims rise with every new hire. ⁸Company-reported. Management liability page's program-staging guidance, describing EPLI specifically among the three bundled lines.

AIG describes protection against specified employment-practices claims, including discrimination, harassment and wrongful-retaliation allegations. The cited page’s examples are not a grant of buyer-specific policy coverage. ³Company-reported. AIG’s public product description is not the policy. Actual entitlement depends on the applicable issued form, endorsements and declarations.

Alliance Risk lists wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation and failure to promote as typically covered EPLI claim types, with wage-and-hour violations often covered subject to a sublimit; it says claims under the National Labor Relations Act, criminal misconduct and benefit-plan ERISA breaches are excluded and routed to fiduciary liability coverage instead. ⁷Company-reported. EPLI product page; coverage table and exclusions; actual policy wording and sublimits vary by carrier.

No buyer-specific limit, retention or deductible can be determined from the public overview. Confirm those values and any sublimits in the quote and issued policy. ³Not publicly disclosed. This statement reports only what the linked public source discloses and does not substitute for a quote or issued policy.

Alliance Risk recommends EPLI limits by profile: $500,000-$1M for companies under 20 employees with strong HR and no prior claims, $1M for most small businesses, $2M-$5M for 50-plus employees or multi-state operations, and a $2M-plus minimum for California or New York employers. ⁷Company-reported. EPLI product page's recommended-limit table; illustrative guidance, not a quote for any particular company.

Alliance Risk says entry-level management-liability packages that bundle EPLI with D&O and fiduciary often share a single aggregate limit, so a large D&O or fiduciary claim earlier in the policy year can reduce what is left for an EPLI claim; it says a specialist broker structures shared versus separate limits to manage that risk. ⁸Company-reported. Management liability page's discussion of bundled D&O, EPLI and fiduciary programs.

AIG describes underwriting, claims and risk-management expertise for employment-practices exposures. Its product resources include applications and loss-prevention material; account-specific service is not specified. ³Company-reported. The linked page describes company-reported support; specific account services and third-party arrangements must be confirmed.

Alliance Risk's EPLI risk review evaluates a company's HR practices, such as its handbook, anti-harassment training and termination procedures, and markets the risk to EPLI carriers, saying it typically delivers proposals within a few business days. ⁷Company-reported.
