Employment Practices Liability

Employment Practices Liability

Employment Practice Liability Insurance provides protection for an organization or its employees from claims relating to wrongful employment practices by its executives, partners, principals, employees, and if necessary, independent contractors. Some cannabis business owners do not realize that they could be held liable for a situation in which one of their managers makes an inappropriate comment overheard by another employee. Keeping up with changes in employment regulations and changing public attitudes has created increased liability for employers. Even the most diligent employer cannot control human behavior. While a company may have strict employee guidelines and procedures in place, it’s impossible to know how an employee will react to their workplace environment. With EPLI coverage, a company can be better protected to mitigate the costs incurred for defending an employee workplace claim. If your insured’s company hires or fires employees, deals with promotions and demotions, modifies compensation packages, issues statements to employees, or manages employee benefits, obtaining EPLI coverage is a must. Although only a small share of employment claims are related to claims brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), recent statistics show how frequently these issues occur. Number of discrimination charges filed with the EEOC in 2022. Retaliation claims are the most common type of complaint, making up nearly 52% of all claims filed in 2022.
