[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/coverage/employment-practices/indiana) # Indiana employment practices: six workers is the usual private-employer threshold Indiana’s Civil Rights Commission says the state employment protections generally apply to private employers with six or more employees, while state and local government employers are covered regardless of size; it also identifies exempt organizations. ICRC says employment complaints generally must be filed within 180 days. Federal or other routes can have different scope and timing, and the state-law summary does not settle insurance coverage.[^1][^2][^3] **Coverage:** [Employment practices liability](/coverage/employment-practices) · [Indiana](/coverage/states/indiana) ## What Is Employment Practices Liability? EPLI can help pay covered defense costs and losses when applicants or workers allege discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination or other workplace wrongdoing. If you employ people, check the claim definition, defense costs and prior acts. [Read the national Employment practices liability guide](/coverage/employment-practices). ## What to Watch for in Indiana ### Six employees is the usual private-employer threshold Indiana’s code and ICRC describe coverage for private employers with six or more employees, with state and political-subdivision employers included regardless of size. The statute also names exemptions, so confirm entity type and headcount rather than assuming every organization is treated alike.[^1][^2] ### Some organizations receive statutory exemptions ICRC lists exemptions for certain religious, nonprofit, and social organizations. The exception is specific; do not extend it to an entire affiliated business group without checking the statutory facts.[^1][^2] ### State employment complaints generally have 180 days ICRC’s employment and filing guidance gives 180 days for employment complaints. Preserve the earliest relevant event dates and check federal filing requirements separately.[^2][^3] ### The complaint must be signed and moves through an agency process ICRC describes filing a signed complaint and an investigation process. Route notices to the people who can preserve personnel, investigation, and accommodation records.[^3] ## Who Regulates Insurance in Indiana **Indiana Department of Insurance.** The Indiana Department of Insurance licenses and regulates insurance companies and producers, reviews rates and policies, and investigates consumer complaints. Its Consumer Services Division accepts complaints and the Department provides company and license searches.[^4][^5][^6] - [Regulator website](https://www.in.gov/idoi/) - [License lookup](https://www.in.gov/idoi/companyentity-financial-compliance/) - [File a complaint](https://www.in.gov/idoi/consumer-services/complaints/submit-a-complaint-online/) - Phone: (800) 622-4461 ### Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office **Reported tax rate:** 2.5% of gross premium when Indiana is the home state Indiana’s surplus-lines premium tax is 2.5% when Indiana is the insured’s home state. Surplus-lines policies are outside Indiana guaranty-fund protection; before you buy, confirm the insurer’s identity and financial strength with your broker.[^7][^8][^9][^10] ## Providers With Documented State Licenses These providers publish a national listing for Employment practices liability; the state records document licenses for the entities and roles shown below. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm that the product is available in Indiana; [check the regulator’s license lookup](https://www.in.gov/idoi/companyentity-financial-compliance/) and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote. - [Coalition](/insurance-providers/coalition) — **Entity:** Coalition Insurance Solutions, Inc.; **role:** Insurance producer, Surplus-lines broker; **checked:** 2026-09-28. **Scope:** Coalition’s license page lists producer and surplus-lines licenses for Coalition Insurance Solutions, Inc. in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The page separately lists insurers; this record covers the brokerage entity only.[^12] - [Corgi](/insurance-providers/corgi) — **Entity:** Corgi Insurance Services, Inc.; **role:** Insurance producer; **checked:** 2026-09-28. **Scope:** Corgi’s company producer-license table lists 50 jurisdictions: 49 states and the District of Columbia, including DC license 3003091619. New Mexico does not appear in the table and is not included here; the omission does not establish that Corgi is unlicensed there. The company-reported table has no stated as-of date and does not establish product availability.[^13] - [TechInsurance](/insurance-providers/techinsurance) — **Entity:** Specialty Program Group LLC; **role:** Insurance producer; **checked:** 2026-09-28. **Scope:** TechInsurance’s current licensing page names Specialty Program Group LLC / SPG Insurance Solutions and lists state license numbers, but labels Rhode Island “Individual licenses” rather than identifying a license for the named agency. RI is omitted because this disclosure does not establish agency authority there; this is a search limitation, not an assertion that the company is unlicensed. The remaining state entries are company-reported and are not an insurance product availability map.[^17] - [Vouch](/insurance-providers/vouch) — **Entity:** Vouch Specialty Insurance Services, LLC; **role:** Insurance producer, Surplus-lines broker; **checked:** 2026-09-28. **Scope:** Vouch’s licenses page, effective January 16, 2025, lists producer licenses in all 50 states and DC. Its separate surplus-lines table includes Idaho number 870820, while a footnote says Georgia and Idaho do not issue agency-level surplus-lines licenses. Because those statements conflict for Idaho, this record keeps Idaho producer-only and does not treat the table number as established agency surplus-lines authority. The page is company-reported and does not establish product availability.[^18] ## Questions to Ask Before You Buy in Indiana 1. Which Indiana legal entity employs the workers, what is its relevant headcount, and could a statutory exemption apply? 2. Who is responsible for diarizing and evaluating ICRC and EEOC deadlines when the first internal report arrives? 3. Ask the broker how the form treats ICRC charges and whether the insured must give notice before a formal agency complaint. ## Employment Practices Liability in Indiana: FAQ ### Does Indiana’s state law cover every private employer? ICRC describes a six-employee threshold for private employers, but includes government employers regardless of size and lists particular exemptions.[^1][^2] ### How long does an employee have to file an Indiana employment complaint? ICRC states that employment complaints generally must be filed within 180 days. Confirm the governing law and facts for a particular claim.[^3] ## Employment Practices Liability in Other States - [Alabama](/coverage/employment-practices/alabama) - [Alaska](/coverage/employment-practices/alaska) - [Arizona](/coverage/employment-practices/arizona) - [Arkansas](/coverage/employment-practices/arkansas) - [California](/coverage/employment-practices/california) - [Colorado](/coverage/employment-practices/colorado) - [Connecticut](/coverage/employment-practices/connecticut) - [Delaware](/coverage/employment-practices/delaware) - [District of Columbia](/coverage/employment-practices/district-of-columbia) - [Florida](/coverage/employment-practices/florida) - [Georgia](/coverage/employment-practices/georgia) - [Hawaii](/coverage/employment-practices/hawaii) - [Idaho](/coverage/employment-practices/idaho) - [Illinois](/coverage/employment-practices/illinois) - [Iowa](/coverage/employment-practices/iowa) - [Kansas](/coverage/employment-practices/kansas) - [Kentucky](/coverage/employment-practices/kentucky) - [Louisiana](/coverage/employment-practices/louisiana) - [Maine](/coverage/employment-practices/maine) - [Maryland](/coverage/employment-practices/maryland) - [Massachusetts](/coverage/employment-practices/massachusetts) - [Michigan](/coverage/employment-practices/michigan) - [Minnesota](/coverage/employment-practices/minnesota) - [Mississippi](/coverage/employment-practices/mississippi) - [Missouri](/coverage/employment-practices/missouri) - [Montana](/coverage/employment-practices/montana) - [Nebraska](/coverage/employment-practices/nebraska) - [Nevada](/coverage/employment-practices/nevada) - [New Hampshire](/coverage/employment-practices/new-hampshire) - [New Jersey](/coverage/employment-practices/new-jersey) - [New Mexico](/coverage/employment-practices/new-mexico) - [New York](/coverage/employment-practices/new-york) - [North Carolina](/coverage/employment-practices/north-carolina) - [North Dakota](/coverage/employment-practices/north-dakota) - [Ohio](/coverage/employment-practices/ohio) - [Oklahoma](/coverage/employment-practices/oklahoma) - [Oregon](/coverage/employment-practices/oregon) - [Pennsylvania](/coverage/employment-practices/pennsylvania) - [Rhode Island](/coverage/employment-practices/rhode-island) - [South Carolina](/coverage/employment-practices/south-carolina) - [South Dakota](/coverage/employment-practices/south-dakota) - [Tennessee](/coverage/employment-practices/tennessee) - [Texas](/coverage/employment-practices/texas) - [Utah](/coverage/employment-practices/utah) - [Vermont](/coverage/employment-practices/vermont) - [Virginia](/coverage/employment-practices/virginia) - [Washington](/coverage/employment-practices/washington) - [West Virginia](/coverage/employment-practices/west-virginia) - [Wisconsin](/coverage/employment-practices/wisconsin) - [Wyoming](/coverage/employment-practices/wyoming) [Other Coverage in Indiana](/coverage/states/indiana) ## Sources [^1]: [Indiana Civil Rights Commission Regulations, Chapter 1](https://www.in.gov/icrc/files/ch1.pdf) — Indiana Civil Rights Commission; Chapter 1, §1-1 employer definition and listed exclusions.
