Corgi vs Relm Insurance Employment Practices Liability Insurance

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. ⁶Company-reported. Product page for form CORG-EPL-0100, last reviewed by Corgi on April 24, 2026 per the page itself.

Relm markets employment practices liability, including wage and hour liability, as a coverage brokers can place for clients through Relm's adaptable coverage solutions. ⁹Company-reported. Relm line-of-business page (Relm sells through brokers); not a statement identifying the issuing insurer for a given placement.

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. ¹Company-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.

The reviewed page does not name a specific issuing insurer for EPL/wage-and-hour placements. ⁹Not publicly disclosed. Line-of-business page as read on 2026-09-23; a specific placement's insurer is product- and jurisdiction-specific.

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. ⁶Company-reported. Policy notes for form CORG-EPL-0100; claims brought in other jurisdictions are not covered under the standard policy.

Relm says any company with employees, regardless of headcount, benefits from EPL coverage, and highlights fast-growing companies as facing rising HR-related exposure as they scale hiring. ⁹Company-reported. Financial Lines page framing; not a guarantee of eligibility for a particular company.

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. ⁶Company-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. ⁶Company-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. ⁶Company-reported. Policy notes and Available Add-ons section for form CORG-EPL-0100; endorsement required and availability may vary by jurisdiction and underwriting.

Relm says EPL covers legal defense and settlement costs for employee claims including harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination, breach of contract and emotional distress, and separately describes wage-and-hour coverage for issues such as minimum-wage underpayment, overtime mishandling and employee misclassification. ⁹Company-reported. Financial Lines page general description; the issued policy and declarations control.

Relm says wage-and-hour claims are increasingly pursued as individual and class actions at both the state and federal level, and frames its wage-and-hour coverage as addressing that growing exposure specifically for large employers. ⁹Company-reported. Financial Lines page 'What Is Wage and Hour Liability Insurance?' section.

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. ⁶Company-reported. Illustrative policy structure on the product page; actual limits and retentions appear on the declarations.
