What is employers’ liability insurance?
Employers’ liability insurance can compensate your business if an employee becomes ill or injured due to work. Your policy can also cover the legal costs incurred in defending a claim.
Employers are responsible for the safety of their employees in the workplace. An employer’s liability insurance policy is required by law for almost all UK businesses with employees, with very limited exceptions. Costly fines can be incurred if a business fails to have this type of insurance. Contact us if you have any questions about whether your business legally requires this policy.
Why employers’ liability insurance is important
Under UK law, employers’ liability insurance is compulsory for almost all businesses. However, it offers other benefits besides legal compliance.
Employers’ liability insurance may cover lost wages, medical bills and legal fees. It enables employers to be protected from potentially extreme financial impact.
Ultimately, having employers’ liability insurance shows your duty of care for your employees and can be helpful cover in many situations.
What employers' liability insurance covers
Employers’ liability insurance can cover the cost of compensating employees who are injured or become ill through work. It covers claims from:
Permanent employees
Contract and seasonal employees
Labour-only subcontractors
Temporary staff, including students and people on work placements
Volunteers
What happens if you fail to get employers’ liability insurance?
Unlike many other types of insurance, employers’ liability insurance is often legally necessary. Under UK law, most employers must have at least £5 million of employers’ liability cover. Failing to do that can result in a fine of up to £2,500 per day you are not adequately insured.
