Includes a Live Web Event on 06/17/2025 at 9:00 AM (EDT)

Many businesses do not carry Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) and some that do have confusing policies with limited coverage. This course begins with a discussion of why ALL businesses big and small must consider EPLI. The course will discuss some important concepts to understand when writing claims made policies and address many employment-related liability exposures faced by today’s employers: discrimination and harassment claims by employees and third parties, employee privacy concerns, retaliation claims, wage and hour claims and more as well as how common EPLI policies address such exposures.
