Employers' Liability
What Is Employers’ Liability?
Employers' liability covers legal costs and compensation for illness, injury and disease claims by all members of staff, including those on work experience. Employers' liability is compulsory for all businesses employing staff, including part-time workers, contractors, sub-contractors or apprentices.
Employers’ liability insurance is purchased with the same thought in mind: to protect your business from costs resulting from employee claims that are not covered by workers' compensation benefits. It covers the gap between your company's bottom line and lawsuits stemming from employee activities.
Why Do I Need Employers' Liability Insurance?
Employers’ liability insurance protects employees if they are injured as a result of an accident at work or if they become ill as a result of their work. If the employer is responsible and compensation has to be paid, employers’ liability insurance aims to provide funds to meet the liability.
