Employment Practices Liability
Employment practices liability coverage can be provided as part of a business owner’s policy (BOP) or as a separate “stand-alone” policy. Employment practices liability coverage protects the owners of the dental practice with regard to their role as an employer. Coverage includes protection from employees, former employees, or potential employees from allegations such as:
​
-
Wrongful Termination
-
Sexual Harassment
-
Discrimination
-
Violation of Employment Discrimination Laws
-
Violation of Americans with Disabilities Act
-
Wrongful Failure to Employ or Promote
-
Breach of Employment Contract

Employment-Related Wrongful Infliction of Emotion Distress

It is important to review and keep up-to-date with your employee handbook. Issues such as cell phone use and social media are important to address in employee handbooks. JLK Insurance Group works with a selection of carriers to offer a range of protection tailored to your dental practice.
