Employers Liability Insurance
If your business has employees, you require Employers Liability Insurance to cover your business in the event of a claim for compensation if one or more of your employees were to be injured or become ill whilst at work.
An example of a situation when you would need to claim on your Employers Liability Insurance would be if an employee is injured while working on machinery without the proper safety precautions being in place.
Employer’s Liability Insurance also covers your business against claims for employee illnesses that have been contracted as a result of working for you, even if they manifest after the person has left your employment. For this reason, you must keep on file all documentation related to your Employers Liability Insurance even if it has expired.
