There are ample opportunities to build camaraderie, trust, and equal playing fields between your staff and clients! However, when unforeseen or uncontrollable events arise, Frederick Mutual’s Employment Practice Liability coverage can kick in to protect your business or establishment.
Here is an example of when a landlord at an apartment building faced an EPL lawsuit.
The insured received a notice of the claim from the state Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities alleging familial status discrimination and pregnancy discrimination. The charge alleged discrimination based on familial status when they declined to rent an apartment to the insured. An initial demand of $40,000 was presented. A settlement was reached between the two parties involved through mediations.
As a landlord and/or a businessowner we know you work diligently to serve your employees and tenants. Frederick Mutual is here to provide you peace of mind with our new EPL coverage to help your business defend against employment claims that allege age, gender or race discrimination, sexual harassment, or other unlawful employment acts or practices.
