What is EPLI?
Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) protects your agency against claims made by employees alleging issues such as:
- Wrongful Termination
- Discrimination
- Harassment (including sexual harassment)
- Retaliation
- Failure to promote or hire
- Other employment-related matters
Even when unfounded, these claims can be costly and time-consuming. EPLI provides critical protection so your agency can focus on serving clients—not fighting employment lawsuits.
