The cost of the cover can be as little as 72p per employee per week.

OPTIONAL INSURANCE PROTECTION

In summary, the policy covers:-

• Employment Practice Liability for tribunal claims brought against the business – If you receive a claim. your costs and any award made against you are covered.
• Directors & Officers Liability – for negligence claims brought against Directors and Officers of the company.
• Corporate Legal Liability – for negligence claims brought against the company.

Important Information

Unlike other policies, the business is covered if the case has less than 50% chance of being successfully defended.

Though the policy provides cover for employment tribunal claims, AXA will waive the excess where the company has sought and followed legal advice from ourselves for any employment grievance, dispute, disciplinary action or proposed dismissal, redundancy or any other matter.

As a guide, a business with a turnover of between £1m -£2.5m will have a premium from £15 a week which covers employment disputes, directors and officers and company legal liability. The business does not need to take cover on all areas.
