Beazley vs USI Insurance Services Employment Practices Liability Insurance

Beazley underwrites employment practices liability (EPL) coverage as a standalone product on its dedicated EPL page and as one of three coverages bundled in its ExecuGuard package policy alongside D&O and fiduciary liability. ^5,3Company-reported. US EPL as described on the two reviewed product pages; does not establish which entity issues a particular policy.

USI brokers employment practices liability (EPL) coverage, which responds to claims like wrongful termination, discrimination or harassment; it places EPL individually or reviews it as part of a management liability program under ExecuSafe. ^9,10Company-reported. Business Services catalogue and ExecuSafe article.

The EPL product page does not name the specific Beazley insurance entity that issues the policy. ⁵Not found in reviewed sources. EPL page as read on 2026-09-23; the issued policy's declarations control the actual insurer.

Neither page names the insurer USI uses for EPL placements. ⁹Not publicly disclosed. Pages as read on 2026-09-23.

Beazley says it considers employers in all industries with up to 30,000 employees, with no stated employee-count limit for staffing firms, and describes an appetite for harder-to-place classes such as law firms, hospitality, high-tech, healthcare, retail and transportation; healthcare risks are instead written through Beazley Remedy. ⁵Company-reported. EPL product page eligibility description; actual acceptance depends on underwriting review of a specific applicant.

USI's Business Services practice, which lists EPL, targets building and maintenance, repair service, janitorial, staffing and printing companies; its ExecuSafe review targets small- and medium-sized businesses generally. ^9,10Company-reported. Company description of client segments for each source.

The EPL policy covers a broad range of discrimination, harassment and other "inappropriate employment conduct" claims, lets the policyholder choose between "duty to defend" and "pay on behalf" claim handling, and includes industry-specific wordings for classes such as law firms, accountants, staffing firms and PEOs. ⁵Company-reported. EPL product page coverage description; exclusions and conditions are set by the issued policy.

Beazley lists sublimited extensions for immigration-practices defense costs and OSHA proceedings, and a wage-and-hour defense-costs sublimit subject to underwriting; standalone wage-and-hour indemnity (not just defense costs) is sold separately through Beazley's Workplace Protect product. ⁵Company-reported. EPL product page; sublimit amounts are not published and appear only on a quote.

USI lists employment practices liability among the coverages it places for business-services clients, and its ExecuSafe review looks for gaps in a client's existing EPL coverage as part of a broader management liability check. ^9,10Company-reported. Catalogue listing plus the ExecuSafe review description; actual insuring agreements and exclusions are set by the issued policy.

Beazley advertises EPL limits up to US $20 million. The reviewed page does not publish standard retentions. ⁵Company-reported. Advertised maximum capacity, not a guaranteed quote amount or published retention.

Neither page publishes EPL limit or retention figures. ⁹Not publicly disclosed. Pages as read on 2026-09-23.

EPL policyholders get free access to BeazleySure, Beazley's online risk-management platform, which the EPL page says includes sexual harassment training, a telephone hotline, wage-and-hour tutorials, and model policies and procedures in English and Spanish. ⁵Company-reported. EPL product page service description; actual entitlements depend on the policy purchased.

USI's Business Services practice says it offers classification and exposure reviews, claim advocacy and contract review across its coverage lines including EPL, and its ExecuSafe process specifically checks existing EPL coverage for gaps. ^9,10Company-reported. Combines the general Business Services service list with the ExecuSafe-specific review step.

Beazley lists an ExecuGuard application, an EPL renewal application and a staffing supplemental application as downloadable tools on the EPL page; the reviewed page does not describe a self-service online quoting flow for new business. ⁵Company-reported. EPL product page Tools & Resources section as read on 2026-09-23.

USI directs business-services inquiries to pcinquiries@usi.com or a local office, and ExecuSafe/management-liability inquiries to Select.Business@usi.com. ^9,10Company-reported. Contact instructions on each page.
