Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) July 17, 2014 General EPLI, Employment Practices Liablity Insurance, Mercer 0 Many members think they have coverage for wrongful termination, harassment, discrimination claims by employees or patients (third party). However, most policies exclude coverage for these types of actions or only provide limited coverage (a contribution to defense costs). The San Bernardino County Medical Society sponsored Employment Practices Liability program includes a unique blend of risk management services and insurance specifically designed to assist physician groups in addressing these important employment issues. Among the features of the program are: Special First-Time Buyers program A Helpline staffed by experienced employment defense attorneys. Any manager, officer or principal of your practice has access to the Helpline for obtaining advice on handling workplace issues, including internal sexual harassment complaints, discipline and employee terminations. If a member seeks Helpline advice on an employee termination which later results in a claim, there is a 50% reduction of the member’s EPLI deductible for that claim. Free, comprehensive criminal background checks for newly hired and promoted managers/supervisors. EEO compliance training for managers/supervisors. An internet-based training program, compliant with California law, provides supervisors with sexual harassment training. Wage and Hour Defense Coverage. (Subject to additional premium.) This valuable member program is available to members through Mercer Health & Benefits Insurance Services LLC, our sponsored insurance program administrator, and in conjunction with the Employment Practices Risk Management Association (EPRMA).
