What’s covered by employers’ liability insurance?
Keep your employees safe in case of accidents
If your employees are injured or fall ill as a direct result of the work they do, employers’ liability insurance will cover you for liability in the event of a claim. And if you employ anyone – even temporary or part-time staff – you may be legally obliged to have it.
Here’s what you’ll get with AXA’s employers' liability insurance:
What it will cover:
|
- Up to £10,000,000 compensation cover, if you’re taken to court by an employee who’s injured or harmed as a direct result of work that you do.
- Cover to pay health and safety law defence costs if a prosecution is brought against you
- Automatic cover for temporary employees for up to 50 man days
- Cover for your legal liability to pay compensation under Data Protection legislation
- £250 compensation per day if you need to attend court
- Compensation if court attendance is required by director, partners or employees
- Access to our 24-hour legal helpline
