CFC vs Chubb Employment Practices Liability Insurance

CFC includes employment practices liability only inside its US Management Liability package. Its brochure lists 'standalone EPL' among the risks it declines, so a business cannot buy this coverage from CFC on its own. ⁵Company-reported. Brochure's 'What we decline' list, which pairs standalone EPL with California-domiciled business as declined risks.

Chubb underwrites Employment Practices Liability (EPL) insurance as one of seven coverage parts within its ForeFront Portfolio, providing coverage aimed at private companies, not-for-profit organizations and healthcare organizations. ¹¹Company-reported. ForeFront Portfolio EPL product sheet.

CFC's regulatory page discloses CFC Underwriting Limited's FCA authorization and CFC's Lloyd's Syndicate 1988, managed by Asta Managing Agency Ltd, but neither the regulatory page nor the management-liability brochure names the carrier or syndicate that would issue a given US EPL policy. ^4,5Not publicly disclosed.

CFC's brochure lists California-domiciled business and US publicly traded companies among the risks it declines for the package that carries this EPL coverage. ⁵Company-reported. Brochure's 'What we decline' list; underwriting still applies to any individual business.
