Employment Practices Liability and Third-Party Discrimination
POLICY HIGHLIGHTS

Broadest array of covered liabilities, including violation of any federal, state, or local law, including common law violations pertaining to any kind of discrimination or harassment.

Wrongful termination coverage includes constructive discharge and breach of implied employment contracts.

Employment-related torts are also covered, including infliction of emotional distress, defamation, libel, slander, disparagement, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, and invasion of privacy.

Claims about how the company handles its employment matters are also covered including negligent hiring or supervision of others, failure to adopt or enforce adequate workplace practices, and excessive or unfair discipline.

Retaliation coverage is expanded to include retaliation under ERISA, OSHA, worker’s compensation laws and wage and hour laws, as well as all types of whistleblower liability.

More than just employment practices liability is covered — claims of discrimination or harassment made by third-parties, such as customers and clients, are also covered whether brought under public accommodation statutes or any other theory of liability.

Coverage extends to the company, and every person in the company, including partners, principals, directors, officers, trustees, and employees.

The company has the option, at the time the claim is made, of whether to extend the coverage to particular employees. This allows the company to conserve policy proceeds for only those individuals whom it decides should be covered.
