Embroker says most businesses with employees qualify, but a business needs an in-depth anti-discrimination policy and a regularly revised employee handbook to be a good underwriting candidate; a business with no employees or a recent prior EPL lawsuit is described as a poor candidate. ⁴Company-reported. Product-page 'What are the eligibility requirements?' section; not a guarantee of coverage for a particular business.

Marsh says employers of all sizes face potential EPL liability, but its named endorsements target companies by size band: over 4,000 employees for the Global Leaders Endorsement and 250 to 4,000 employees for the Leaders Preferred Endorsement. ⁹Company-reported. Marsh EPL page.

Embroker lists coverage for legal defense costs, settlements and judgments tied to poor employment practices, retaliation claims, wrongful demotion or discipline, and wage-and-hour disputes. ⁴Company-reported. Product-page What's covered section; the issued policy and declarations control.

Embroker says the policy excludes criminal and civil fines or punitive damages, back wages owed, employee bodily injuries, and claims related to unemployment benefits or workers' compensation. ⁴Company-reported. Product-page What's not included section.

Embroker says most of its EPLI policies are written on a claims-made basis, meaning coverage responds based on when a claim is made and reported relative to the policy's retroactive date, not when the underlying incident occurred. ⁴Company-reported.

Marsh says EPLI can respond to allegations including discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, retaliation, failure to employ or promote, negligent evaluation, and violation of an employee's civil rights, brought by past, present or prospective employees or third parties. ⁹Company-reported. Marsh EPL page; illustrative policy description, not a specific policy form.
