Protection Against Employee Claims of Discrimination, Harassment, and Wrongful Termination

Hiring, firing, and managing employees creates liability. EPLI covers claims from current, former, and prospective employees alleging your practices violated their rights.

What’s Covered

01

Wrongful Termination

01

Coverage for claims that an employee was fired illegally — whether for discrimination, retaliation, or in violation of public policy. Defense costs average $150K+ even when terminations are legitimate.

02

Harassment & Hostile Work Environment

02

Protection when employees allege sexual harassment, bullying, or toxic workplace culture. Includes defense costs and settlements — reputational damage compounds financial exposure.

03

Discrimination Allegations

03

Coverage for claims of hiring, promotion, pay, or termination discrimination based on protected characteristics. Class action discrimination suits can reach millions in damages.

04

Retaliation Claims

04

Protection when employees claim adverse action followed complaints about discrimination, harassment, or violations. Retaliation claims are among the fastest-growing and most expensive EPLI exposures.

How Velora Does It Differently

01

Third-Party Coverage

Third-Party Coverage

We include or request third-party EPLI — covering claims from customers, vendors, or non-employees alleging harassment or discrimination. Critical for client-facing businesses like retail and hospitality.

02

Wage & Hour Defense

Wage & Hour Defense

Independent contractor misclassification, unpaid overtime, and meal/break violations are increasingly common. We structure coverage for wage and hour defense costs where available.

03

Tail Coverage for Departed Employees

Tail Coverage for Departed Employees

Former employees file claims months or years after termination. We ensure EPLI policies have appropriate tail coverage for claims reported after employment ends.

04

HR Resource Integration

HR Resource Integration

Beyond insurance, we connect clients with HR consultants and legal resources to improve handbooks, documentation, and practices — reducing claims before they happen.

Every hiring and firing decision carries liability

but standard EPLI policies often exclude third-party claims, wage and hour disputes, and regulatory investigations. Velora structures EPLI programs that cover the full spectrum of employment risk — with limits that match your headcount and industry exposure.
