CASE FILE #006
THE CASE OF THE 5 EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES TRAPS
Inspector Comp has opened a new investigation—and this time, the suspects are hiding in the workplace.
Clue #1: Discrimination
Hiring, pay, promotion or workplace decisions can quickly become allegations of unequal treatment.
Clue #2: Harassment
What one employee calls “just a joke” can become a very serious claim.
Clue #3: Wrongful Termination
Sometimes the biggest problem isn't why someone was fired—it’s whether the company can prove why.
Clue #4: Retaliation
An employee makes a complaint…and suddenly gets written up, demoted or terminated? Inspector Comp is paying attention.
Clue #5: Wrongful Discipline & Promotion Issues
Who gets promoted, who gets disciplined and how those decisions are documented can all become evidence in an employment claim.
INSPECTOR COMP'S VERDICT
You don't need to have done anything wrong to face an EPLI claim. You may still have to defend yourself. EPLI can help address covered employment-related claims and the legal costs associated with defending them, but policy terms, exclusions and coverage limits matter.
Don't wait for an employee lawsuit to become your next case file.
Inspect your exposure. Review your EPLI. Protect your business.
