Business leaders are forced with making impossible decisions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Not just decisions about keeping their doors open, but decisions ranging from hiring and firing employees, to compensation, and how to provide safe work conditions during these unprecedented times. Unbeknownst to many employers, these difficult decisions are putting their business at risk for an Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) claim. As employment-related lawsuits are on the rise for employers of all sizes, it is critical for employers to understand these exposures in order to manage the risk of an EPLI claim.
The most common employment practices-related lawsuits today include Sexual Harassment, Discrimination, Wrongful Termination, and Retaliation after an objection to unsafe work conditions. These claims can disrupt business, harm your reputation, and could ultimately have a significant financial impact. Here are some effective risk management strategies to reduce your company’s liability:
To truly protect your organization, it is crucial to purchase Employment Practices Liability Insurance. EPLI provides the necessary resources to defend your company against a lawsuit, or to pay damages.
