WHAT IS EMPLOYERS LIABILITY INSURANCE ?
Employers Liability Insurance provides cover against liability for injury or disease to employees arising out of their employment. This compulsory cover must be taken out with an approved insurer for at least £5 million (Carvel arranges cover at £10 million as standard).
In essence it covers the costs of compensation and legal fees for employees who suffer injury or are made ill at work if the fault of the employer. Employers Liability insurance allows an employee to seek compensation even if the business goes into liquidation or receivership and also allows the NHS to claim the costs of treatment when personal injury compensation is paid.
The Health and Safety Executive enforces the law on employers Liability insurance. They can check that you have employers Liability insurance in accordance with the Employers’ Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act. They may ask to see your certificate of employers Liability insurance as a business can be fined up to £2500 a day if suitable employers Liability cover is not in place.
