[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/alliance-risk/employment-practices) # 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. [1](https://joinalliancerisk.com/employment-practices-liability-insurance-epli/ "Employment Practices Liability (EPLI)") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: 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. [1](https://joinalliancerisk.com/employment-practices-liability-insurance-epli/ "Employment Practices Liability (EPLI)") (Scope: EPLI 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. [1](https://joinalliancerisk.com/employment-practices-liability-insurance-epli/ "Employment Practices Liability (EPLI)") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: 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. [2](https://joinalliancerisk.com/management-liability-insurance/ "Management Liability Insurance: How D&O, EPLI, and Fiduciary Fit Together") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: 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. [1](https://joinalliancerisk.com/employment-practices-liability-insurance-epli/ "Employment Practices Liability (EPLI)") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: 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. [1](https://joinalliancerisk.com/employment-practices-liability-insurance-epli/ "Employment Practices Liability (EPLI)") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: 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. [2](https://joinalliancerisk.com/management-liability-insurance/ "Management Liability Insurance: How D&O, EPLI, and Fiduciary Fit Together") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: 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.
