Even though
you are an honest and fair employer, one accusation of unfair employment
practices could cost you thousands of dollars. Charges ranging from age or sex discrimination to wrongful
termination, even unfounded charges, can hurt or destroy a business.
Until
recently, only large businesses were able to affordably insure against the risk
of employment practices claims. Now employers of all sizes can insure against the risk.
While
multi-million dollar jury awards against large corporations make the headlines,
thousands of small- and medium-size businesses experience difficult times. Answering a groundless complaint filed
with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission can be costly to employers.
Employers
face increased financial risk of potentially violating ever changing and
complex employment laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act. Your directors,
managers, supervisors and employees may not fully understand the ins and outs
of these laws and may be unaware of new rulings and interpretations.
