Employment Practices Liability

Because employment practices (EPL) claims continues to increase, companies – large and small – are faced with catastrophic loss exposure. Any employer, no matter how effective its employment practices and procedures, is vulnerable to employment-related liabilities.

Employment Practices Violations include:

Employment-related misrepresentation(s) to an employee or applicant for employment with the company
Employment-related libel, slander, humiliation, defamation and invasion of privacy, including the giving of negative or defamatory statements in connection with an employee reference
Wrongful failure to employ or promote
Wrongful deprivation of career opportunity with the company or wrongful demotion or negligent employee evaluation
Wrongful termination
Harassment
Discrimination
Retaliation
Wrongful discipline
Failure to grant tenure
