Why would I need Employers Liability?
Employers Liability Insurance FAQs
Most likely yes. Any business that has employees will need adequate employees liability insurance. If your business is found to be operating without the right coverage, you could be subject to a big fine.
Employers liability insurance covers you in any situation where an employee is injured or taken sick as a result of working for you. In some instances, they may sue you for compensation and your insurance will cover the costs associated with this.
The main difference between these two types of insurance comes down to the person that is making the claim. If they work for you, you are covered by your employers liability insurance. But if they are a member of the public that is injured at your business, for example, you are covered by public liability insurance.
Anybody directly employed by the business, including directors, counts as an employee. However, sub-contractors and freelancers may also come under the same classification, depending on how often they work for your business.
The legal minimum amount of cover is £5 million, but most insurers offer £10 million as standard. Policies with higher coverage are available, if necessary.
Yes. There are single policies available, but it is usually purchased as part of a business insurance package that includes public liability and professional indemnity insurance too. This gives your business all of the protection it needs.
Unfortunately, you cannot stop an employee from making a claim against your business. But your insurance policy will protect you if they do.
The cost of a policy is completely dependent on the level of risk involved and the number of employees working for the business. Companies that engage in more dangerous activities will pay more for coverage.
If you are concerned about the cost of insurance coverage, Livingstones Insurance can help you find the best possible policy for the lowest price.
