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.

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. ⁷Company-reported. Financial Lines page framing; not a guarantee of eligibility for a particular company.

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.
