Key Differences in Employment Practices Liability Insurance

Policy structure and coverage

TechInsurance says EPLI can be purchased standalone or paired with D&O in a management-liability bundle, and describes discrimination, harassment, termination, benefits and privacy claims. It says the coverage is typically claims-made. WTW lists EPLI in FINEX but does not describe product structure or triggers in the reviewed record; compare the form and reporting terms. 4 9

Quote access and carrier

TechInsurance accepts a short online application with licensed agents available to help, but its reviewed page does not name the issuing insurer. WTW’s terms describe a broker intermediary and formal insurer commitment after binding is ordered; ask both for the carrier and binder timing. 4 10

Premium and limits

TechInsurance reports a median premium of $257 monthly, with costs varying by industry, limits, deductible, workforce and claims history; this is not a quote. WTW publishes no buyer-specific EPL amounts, so compare actual schedules and the premium basis. 4 10

What to Confirm in Employment Practices Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Ask TechInsurance for the actual carrier, premium, limit, deductible and retroactive date. 4
  • Ask WTW whether its proposal is standalone or bundled and request the claims-made wording. 10

Who It’s For
