Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) provides protection for an employer against claims made by employees, former employees, or potential employees relating to many types of employee related lawsuits including claims of sexual harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination, breach of employment contract, negligent evaluation, failure to employ or promote, wrongful discipline, deprivation of career opportunity, wrongful infliction of emotional distress and mismanagement of employee benefit plans.

Employment Practices related lawsuits filed by employees against their employers have been on the rise. Some estimates show that 3 out of 5 businesses will be sued by an employee. Today businesses realize that they are vulnerable to these types of lawsuits from the pre-hiring process through separation. Whether your business is large or small, no company is immune from employment practice related lawsuits. Even when a lawsuit has no merit, the costs associated with defending these suits can be costly… both in time and money. Because many companies have Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) to provide protection for them against claims made by employees, former employees, or potential employees, Porter Scott also specializes in this area of civil defense work.
