Key Differences in Employment Practices Liability Insurance

Eligibility and buying route

Coverdash markets EPLI to any business with employees and accepts quote requests through its online flow. WTW’s reviewed record does not state EPL eligibility or an online route, so ask which carrier appetite and underwriting process would apply to your company. 4 9

Coverage and package structure

Coverdash describes defense for wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation and failure-to-promote claims. It says EPLI may be bought alone or alongside D&O and fiduciary in a management-liability package. WTW’s sources do not describe EPL grants or package structure; compare covered claims and whether limits are shared. 4 10

Carrier and limit detail

Coverdash does not name the issuing insurer or publish limits and retentions for an EPL quote. WTW’s reviewed terms similarly do not identify a specific EPL carrier or buyer limit; request both schedules and the issued insurer before deciding. 4 10

What to Confirm in Employment Practices Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Coverdash whether the quote is standalone or packaged, and identify the insurer, limit and retention. 4
  • Ask WTW for eligible employee counts, covered claims, package aggregate and quote process. 10
