CFC vs Corgi 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.

Corgi sells EPLI as a standalone startup policy and bundles it into its Series A, Growth Stage and Custom packages, describing it as coverage for claims arising from the employment relationship: wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation and failure to hire. ¹³Company-reported. Product page for form CORG-EPL-0100, last reviewed by Corgi on April 24, 2026 per the page itself.

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. Regulatory information page and brochure as read on 2026-09-23.

Corgi's disclaimers say coverage may be underwritten through affiliated or partner carriers, including Corgi Insurance Company, Inc. (an admitted carrier) or Technology Risk Retention Group, Inc.; the EPLI product page itself does not name which entity underwrites a given EPLI policy. ⁸Company-reported. General carrier-financial-strength disclosure that applies across Corgi's product lines, not an EPLI-specific underwriter statement; your policy names the actual insurer.

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.

Corgi says EPLI coverage applies to claims made and pursued in the United States, its territories, Puerto Rico or Canada, and that startups with international employees should discuss this limitation with their advisor. ¹³Company-reported. Policy notes for form CORG-EPL-0100; claims brought in other jurisdictions are not covered under the standard policy.

CFC says its employment practices liability section gives cover to the entity, directors, officers, management personnel and employees for claims brought by employees or third parties. ⁵Company-reported. Brochure's 'Employment practices liability' description; the issued policy wording determines who and what is actually covered.

CFC says it can include cover for wage and hour violations, immigration investigations, and costs following a workplace violence event as part of employment practices liability. ⁵Company-reported. Brochure's 'Employment practices liability' description and 'What else is in the policy?' list; availability of each extension depends on underwriting.

The standard policy has two insuring agreements: Agreement A covers claims by current employees, former employees and job applicants alleging discrimination, harassment, retaliation or wrongful termination; Agreement B covers claims by third parties, such as customers or vendors, alleging harassment or discrimination by an employee during a business interaction. ¹³Company-reported. Coverage summary for form CORG-EPL-0100; the issued policy and declarations control.

The standard policy excludes wage-and-hour claims (including FLSA misclassification and overtime disputes); Corgi offers a Wage & Hour Defense Costs Endorsement that covers defense costs only, not settlements or judgments, for these claims. ¹³Company-reported. Policy notes and Available Add-ons section for form CORG-EPL-0100; the endorsement requires separate issuance and does not add indemnity coverage.

Independent contractors are excluded from the policy's definition of 'Employee' by default; Corgi offers an Independent Contractors and Leased Workers Endorsement to extend coverage to claims from contractors and leased workers. ¹³Company-reported. Policy notes and Available Add-ons section for form CORG-EPL-0100; endorsement required and availability may vary by jurisdiction and underwriting.

The reviewed brochure does not publish a separate dollar limit, sublimit or retention for employment practices liability. Those figures appear only on the quote and declarations. ⁵Not publicly disclosed. Brochure as read on 2026-09-23.

Corgi's illustrative EPLI structure shows limits up to $1 million per claim and $2 million in the policy aggregate, with a $25,000 self-insured retention per claim and defense costs included within the limit. ¹³Company-reported. Illustrative policy structure on the product page; actual limits and retentions appear on the declarations.
