Key Differences in Employment Practices Liability Insurance

Named Underwriter Versus Catalogue Brokerage

CFC underwrites EPL as a section of US Management Liability and lists standalone EPL among declined risks. RiskCube lists EPLI in its startup catalogue through RiskCube Insurance Services, LLC, described as an independent brokerage that does not underwrite the policy. 5 11

Detail on the Form

CFC’s brochure describes who is insured, third-party claims, and optional wage-and-hour, immigration and workplace-violence costs. RiskCube’s catalogue describes EPLI in one paragraph as covering claims from current or former employees alleging wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment or retaliation, with no policy form or endorsement list on the reviewed pages. 5 11

Intended Buyer

CFC declines California-domiciled business and US public companies for the package that carries EPL. RiskCube frames EPLI as critical for startups hiring their first employees or scaling a team rapidly. CFC’s brochure does not publish a separate EPL dollar limit; RiskCube’s catalogue and contact pages also do not publish EPLI limits, retentions or premiums. 5 11 12

How You Start and Claims

RiskCube’s EPLI “Learn more” link redirects to a general contact form rather than a dedicated application. CFC documents US claim notification with a dedicated adjuster. 12 7

  • Ask both for wage-and-hour and third-party terms, which RiskCube’s catalogue card does not list. 5 11

CFC vs RiskCube Employment Practices Liability Insurance: documented features by provider

CriteriaCFC Employment Practices LiabilityRiskCube Employment Practices Liability Insurance
Role in This Line

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.

RiskCube lists Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) as one line in its startup catalogue, sold through RiskCube Insurance Services, LLC, which the catalogue page describes as an "Independent brokerage." RiskCube does not underwrite the policy itself. 11Company-reported. Catalogue-level description; no EPLI-specific product page exists to confirm additional role detail.

Issuing Insurer

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.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Who It’s For

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.

RiskCube's catalogue says EPLI is "critical for startups hiring their first employees or scaling a team rapidly," framing it around early hiring growth rather than company size generally. 11Company-reported. Catalogue marketing description, not an underwriting eligibility rule.

Coverage Features

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.

RiskCube's catalogue describes EPLI as covering claims from current or former employees alleging wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment or retaliation. 11Company-reported. One-paragraph catalogue card; no policy form or endorsement list was found for this line.

Limits and Retentions

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.

The reviewed EPLI catalogue card and contact-form page do not publish limit, retention or premium ranges for this line. 11,12Not publicly disclosed. Public pages checked on 2026-09-23; amounts may appear only on an individual quote.

How to Apply

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Unlike RiskCube's technology E&O and key person life insurance lines, the catalogue's "Learn more" link for EPLI (riskcubeai.com/insurance/epli) redirects to a general contact form rather than a dedicated page describing an EPLI-specific application flow, timeline or required intake information. 12Not found in reviewed sources. Checked on 2026-09-23; the URL may change to a dedicated page later.

Claims Support

CFC provides a US claim-notification route by phone, email and online form, and says a dedicated claims adjuster manages a claim from notification through resolution. 7Company-reported. Claims page as read on 2026-09-23; not specific to EPL claim outcomes or timing.

Not described in the reviewed sources.
