Employers' liability insurance
Our cover protects you against the cost of defending or settling claims that arise from employee injury or illness in the workplace.
What's covered with employers' liability insurance?
Employers' liability insurance protects employers from financial losses that may occur if an employee experiences an injury or illness in the workplace and seeks to claim compensation. It will also provide cover for legal costs and compensation claims. Insurers will issue an employers liability certificate noting this cover. Whilst you no longer have to display this certificate, you must ensure that it is available should anyone ask to see it. In addition, each certificate will need to be kept for 40 years.
