Alliance Risk lists wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation and failure to promote as typically covered EPLI claim types, with wage-and-hour violations often covered subject to a sublimit; it says claims under the National Labor Relations Act, criminal misconduct and benefit-plan ERISA breaches are excluded and routed to fiduciary liability coverage instead. ¹Company-reportedEPLI product page; coverage table and exclusions; actual policy wording and sublimits vary by carrier.

Alliance Risk recommends EPLI limits by profile: $500,000-$1M for companies under 20 employees with strong HR and no prior claims, $1M for most small businesses, $2M-$5M for 50-plus employees or multi-state operations, and a $2M-plus minimum for California or New York employers. ¹Company-reportedEPLI product page's recommended-limit table; illustrative guidance, not a quote for any particular company.

Alliance Risk says entry-level management-liability packages that bundle EPLI with D&O and fiduciary often share a single aggregate limit, so a large D&O or fiduciary claim earlier in the policy year can reduce what is left for an EPLI claim; it says a specialist broker structures shared versus separate limits to manage that risk. ²Company-reportedManagement liability page's discussion of bundled D&O, EPLI and fiduciary programs.
