Employment Practices

Overview

 

At Beazley we understand that employers constantly face new challenges and exposures as a result of a changing legal landscape and increasingly employee-friendly courts. To help employers cope, we have developed unique employment practices coverage that addresses emerging exposures as well as traditional ones.

Beazley insureds get more than your typical EPL policy, they get superior service and expertise:

Employment law experts

Beazley’s EPL team has a level of expertise unparalleled in the industry, allowing us to tailor our coverage to meet the changing demands of today’s workplace.

 

Superior claims handling

We have dedicated employment claims personnel on staff who work with top employment lawyers across the country to quickly and efficiently resolve claims.

 

A lasting partnership

At Beazley we are committed to helping our insureds prevent claims from ever arising.  BeazleySource, our online risk management platform, offers policyholders comprehensive risk management including sexual harassment training, a dedicated telephone hotline, wage and hour tutorials and model policies and procedures in English and Spanish.
