Employer's Liability

Employer’s Liability Insurance (EL) provides protection for an employer against claims made by employees, former employees, or potential employees. 

No matter where they are located, all employers must face the fact that the chance of targeted legal action from past, present and prospective employees is a reality. Even if the claim is groundless or fraudulent, the defence of a suit can be expensive, consuming both time and financial resources.  

Fortunately. these expenses and any eventual settlements can be transferred to the insurance market with an Employer’s Liability policy. Our unique reinsurance solutions for Employer’s Liability, providing extensions such as moral indemnity and occupational diseases and complying with Turkish Employer’s Liability General Conditions, is a great value-adding solution to our clients’ portfolios.
