Key Differences in Employment Practices Liability Insurance

Midsize and Large Endorsements Versus First-Hire Catalogue

Marsh places EPLI and names Global Leaders for more than 4,000 employees and Leaders Preferred for 250 to 4,000. RiskCube lists EPLI on a startup catalogue as an independent brokerage that does not underwrite, and says EPLI is critical for startups hiring their first employees or scaling rapidly. The documented audiences barely overlap: Marsh’s named endorsements start at 250 employees; RiskCube’s card is about first hires. 5 10

Depth of Public Description

Marsh lists allegation types EPLI can answer, including third-party claimants, and MMA describes defense costs and damages for employment-related claims. RiskCube’s catalogue says EPLI covers claims from current or former employees alleging wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment or retaliation, with no endorsement names. RiskCube’s EPLI link opens a contact form; Marsh’s materials are dedicated EPL pages. 5 6 10 11

Insurer and Limits

Marsh’s reviewed pages do not name an EPLI insurer; the endorsements appear to be Marsh-negotiated features. RiskCube’s catalogue and contact page also do not name an insurer and do not publish limits, retentions or premiums. Both sides leave those numbers to the quote. 5 10

What to Confirm in Employment Practices Liability Insurance Quotes

  • State your employee count; ask Marsh which endorsement, if any, applies below 250, and ask RiskCube whether it still places EPLI after the first-hire stage. 5 10
  • Get issuing insurers from both brokerages. 5 10
  • Ask whether third-party claims in Marsh’s list appear on a RiskCube placement. 5 10
  • Compare how you apply: Marsh through its EPL or MMA teams versus RiskCube’s contact form. 5 11

How to Apply
