Employment-related practices liability is one of the hottest issues affecting employers today. It involves issues such as sexual harassment, wrongful termination and discrimination. Every employer, large or small, faces a very real possibility of litigation. Employment-related cases, whether frivolous or factual, must be defended. Workers’ compensation, general liability, and other types of policies businesses typically hold, won’t provide the comprehensive coverage employers and employees expect. These claims can come from both current and former employees as well as job applicants. The procedures that employers do and don’t use in hiring, firing and managing their employees can translate into huge price tags for defense costs and legal awards to plaintiffs for mistakes that are made.
