Alliance Risk Employment Practices Liability Insurance

Alliance Risk Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)

Alliance Risk places EPLI as a broker and describes itself as specializing in management liability for businesses operating in employment-litigation-heavy states such as California and New York. 1Company-reported. EPLI product page; Alliance Risk does not underwrite the policy itself.

Issuing Insurer

Not publicly disclosed. The reviewed EPLI page does not name the insurer that would issue a policy; coverage terms, conditions and availability are described as varying by carrier, state and individual circumstances. 1EPLI product page as read on 2026-09-23.

Who It’s For

Alliance Risk targets EPLI at small businesses under 50 employees, high-risk industries such as healthcare, staffing, retail and hospitality, multi-state employers, and companies with complex workforces including contractors and foreign nationals. 1Company-reported. EPLI product page; eligibility for a particular company depends on underwriting.

Alliance Risk says a company should add EPLI coverage as it crosses into double-digit headcount, since employment claims rise with every new hire. 2Company-reported. Management liability page's program-staging guidance, describing EPLI specifically among the three bundled lines.

Coverage Features

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-reported. EPLI product page; coverage table and exclusions; actual policy wording and sublimits vary by carrier.

Limits and Retentions

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-reported. EPLI 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-reported. Management liability page's discussion of bundled D&O, EPLI and fiduciary programs.

Risk Services

Alliance Risk's EPLI risk review evaluates a company's HR practices, such as its handbook, anti-harassment training and termination procedures, and markets the risk to EPLI carriers, saying it typically delivers proposals within a few business days. 1Company-reported. EPLI product page, Get your EPLI risk review section; timing is a company estimate, not a guarantee.

How to Apply

For an EPLI quote, Alliance Risk asks for employee count and locations, industry and states of operation, the types of employment decisions at issue, HR practices in place, existing coverage and limits, and a five-year claims history of EEOC charges, lawsuits and settlements. 1Company-reported.

Claims Support

Not found in reviewed sources. The reviewed EPLI page does not describe an Alliance Risk claims-handling or claims-advocacy process; it discusses what an EPLI policy covers rather than how Alliance Risk itself supports a claim. 1EPLI product page as read on 2026-09-23.
