Key Differences in Employment Practices Liability Insurance

Underwriting and Distribution

RiskCube calls EPLI critical for startups hiring their first employees or scaling quickly and names claims by current or former employees alleging wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. Counterpart publishes a dedicated EPL product page without a stage threshold in the reviewed claims. A startup can use RiskCube’s framing as a hiring prompt and ask Counterpart how its appetite changes with headcount. 3 8

Claims Named by Travelers

Counterpart says its insurance is distributed through its producer and surplus-lines broker and wholesale brokers. RiskCube describes its catalogue as an independent brokerage and says it does not underwrite the policy. Ask both who will select the carrier and provide the policy wording; neither distribution description alone identifies the insurer or establishes the terms. 3 8

What to Confirm in Employment Practices Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Ask RiskCube which carrier, limit, and retention are available for a first-hire startup. 3
  • Ask Counterpart which eligibility details and employment-claim definitions apply to your team and states. 8
