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.

TechInsurance targets EPLI at small businesses with a sizable workforce, and specifically notes that companies too small to have a dedicated HR team may face employment lawsuits more often since they often lack the resources to resolve disputes before they become legal claims. ⁷Company-reported.
