Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) in Colorado

Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)

Protect Your Business From Employee-Related Claims

Owning a business requires managing people and, even with the best intentions, misunderstandings or disputes can happen before, during, or after the employment process, which can lead to claims of discrimination or wrongful termination. Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) helps protect your business from these costly employee-related claims.

What is EPLI?

Employment Practices Liability Insurance covers businessowners for claims made by current or former employees—and even prospective employees that may feel they were discriminated against during the hiring process. It protects your business from legal and financial impacts of these allegations. It is often times included in your existing general liability or businessowner’s insurance policies but can also be written on stand-alone policies if needed.

What Does EPLI Cover?

EPLI can help protect your business against claims such as:

• Wrongful Termination
• Discrimination
• Harassment
• Retaliation
• Failure to Hire or Promote
• Defamation and Privacy Violations

What Costs Does EPLI Cover?

EPLI typically helps pay for:

• Investigation expenses
• Legal defense and attorney fees
• Settlements and judgments

Even false or unfounded claims can be expensive to defend. EPLI provides coverage against these claims to ensure your business operations continue uninterrupted.

Who Needs EPLI?

Any business with employees can benefit from EPLI coverage, including:

• Growing startups
• Small businesses
• Mid-sized companies
• Large corporations
• Nonprofits

If your business has even one employee, you face employment practices-related risk. EPLI helps protect your business from these risks.

Reduce Risk With Better Workplace Practices

EPLI coverage works best alongside strong HR practices, such as:

• A clear, up-to-date employee handbook
• Consistent documentation of performance issues
• Anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training
• Standardized hiring and termination processes
• A safe, confidential complaint process for employees
