There are countless rules surrounding employment practices, and as your company scales, your business needs to be on top of all rules and regulations. If employees file lawsuits alleging discrimination and bad employment practices, Employment practices liability coverage can help cover the costs associated with the suit. Discrimination lawsuits can be related to gender, age, religion, or country of origin. Employment practices liability coverage can also cover the costs of lawsuits related to wrongful termination of employees, failure to promote, and wage and hour claims including failure to pay overtime, not paying employees based on the schedule specified in their contracts, not allowing meal breaks, and more.

Here are a few questions you can ask yourself to see if you need Employment practices liability coverage:

• Do you onboard employees/plan to onboard employees in the next 3-6 months?
• Are you planning on promoting employees?
• Do you regularly interview potential employees?
• Do you plan to fire or demote employees?
• Do you provide any benefit plans to your employees?
