What Is Employers' Liability Insurance?

Employers’ liability insurance – EL insurance as it’s also known – protects businesses from compensation claims from their employees should they be sued by staff for loss or injury at work. If you have any employees, be they full-time, part-time, or contracted, then having EL cover is a legal requirement.

The health and safety of your employees are essential, and you are legally required to uphold that responsibility from incidents such as:

Someone having an accident at work
A member of staff developing a medical condition owing to their job
One of your team having their property damaged while at work

If you’d like some advice on getting the employers’ liability cover that’s right for your business, please get in touch with your local Coversure office. They’ll be happy to give you the help you need to keep your business and employees safe.

How Much Does Employers' Liability Cover Do You Need?

Most businesses are legally required to have £5m of cover as soon they employ their first staff member. Depending on what your company does and its risks, you may need a higher level of protection. An easy way to find out how much cover you need is to talk to your local Coversure office. They’ll be happy to give you the help you need to keep your business safe and on the right side of the law.

What must Employers' Liability Insurance cover?

Your policy must:

Cover you for at least £5 million of liability

The cost of your policy will vary depending on factors such as:

Your policy limits, you’ll obviously pay more for £10m than for a £5m policy

The type of work you do
Your claims history

The best way to find out how much protection you need is to contact your local Coversure. They’ll be able to advise you as to what you need and create a package of Employers’ Liability cover for you.
