ProtectaCare Insurance offers Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI), a crucial safeguard for employers facing claims from employees alleging various employment-related wrongful acts. EPLI provides comprehensive coverage against discrimination claims, encompassing allegations based on race, gender, age, disability, or other protected characteristics, addressing concerns related to unfair hiring, promotion, or termination practices.

The policy extends protection against harassment claims, whether sexual or otherwise, including inappropriate behavior, comments, or actions by employees or management that contribute to a hostile work environment. Wrongful termination coverage shields employers from claims of unjust or unfair firing, while retaliation claims related to protected activities, such as whistleblowing, are also covered.

EPLI further includes protection against breach of employment contracts, covering disputes over terms of employment, benefits, or implied contracts. Wage and hour disputes coverage addresses allegations of unpaid overtime or failure to provide meal and rest breaks. The policy covers legal defense costs, encompassing attorney fees, court expenses, and settlements or judgments resulting from covered claims.

Some policies extend coverage to third-party claims made by non-employees, such as clients, vendors, or customers, alleging wrongful employment practices. ProtectaCare goes beyond coverage, offering additional benefits such as training and risk management services to help businesses prevent employment-related claims.

This includes guidance on best practices, compliance with employment laws, and fostering a safe and inclusive work environment. With options for pre-claim assistance and deductible choices aligned with risk tolerance and budget, businesses are empowered to tailor their EPLI coverage for comprehensive protection.

Clarifications on exclusions provide businesses with a thorough understanding of coverage scope and limitations, making EPLI an essential tool for mitigating the financial impact of legal actions and ensuring a workplace culture that minimizes the likelihood of employment-related claims.
