  • Is EPL insurance required by law?

    No, EPL insurance is not legally required, but it’s highly recommended for businesses to protect against employment-related claims.

Wright Risk Consultants provides clear explanations of what’s included and excluded in your policy, helping you identify any gaps and recommend additional protections where necessary.

  • How can I reduce the likelihood of employment claims?

    Preventing claims starts with fostering a positive workplace culture and ensuring compliance with labor laws.
