Instead, EPLI policies are written with provisions that reduce the policy’s limits according to insurer payment of defense costs. It is also important to note that employment practices liability insurance operates on a claims-made basis, meaning policyholders will receive benefits only if covered at the time of the incident and the time of the filing.
