Insurance by coverage

Employment practices liability for cannabis businesses

Employment practices liability insurance can address certain workplace allegations, subject to the policy, exclusions, and applicable law. A useful review connects workforce size and location to hiring, supervision, discipline, termination, and complaint practices.

Coverage and availability depend on the account, state, insurer and underwriting review. General information and nonbinding indications do not bind insurance; the applicable binder, policy, endorsements and law govern coverage.

Important insurance information

This guide is general information and does not determine coverage or legal requirements for your business. Policy terms, exclusions, conditions and available options vary. Contact the appropriate licensed insurance representative about your account, request confirmation of any coverage placed, and review the applicable insurance documents. An application, inquiry or nonbinding indication does not by itself bind or change insurance.
