You will speak to attorneys who have expertise in employment law.
Q.) Is the call confidential?
Yes. The information will not be provided to anyone, including the insurance company, unless you want the information shared with the insurer.
Q.) Do the attorneys provide legal advice?
No. Most calls involve questions about specific employment situations in the workplace and how best to handle those situations. If your inquiry requires legal advice and consultation, the Helpline attorney will inform you of this and may be able to assist you separately or refer you to another employment law attorney.
Q.) Please give examples of Helpline questions?
Q.) Should I call the Helpline when I’ve received something that I’m not sure is a claim?
Yes. The Helpline attorney will be able to help you determine whether a claim has been made and whether it should be reported. If not a claim, the attorney may be able to assist you in taking action to help avoid a claim. Keep in mind that calling the Helpline itself does not trigger coverage.
Q.) Who do we call if we have a problem or need service?
If your problem has anything to do with a claim, a potential claim, or a difficult employment situation, you should speak with an attorney. Please call the experienced employment law attorneys of our EPLI Helpline at (866) 567-9496. The attorneys there will either help you directly or put you in touch with the appropriate people to help you handle your situation. They can even help you report a claim to the carrier. If you are interested in any training for you and your managers, call us. We can help. If you have questions about your insurance policy, please call your broker.
Q.) How can our retention be reduced when we have claims for wrongful termination?
The insurance carrier agrees to reduce your Retention for Claims of wrongful termination by 50% if you obtain and adopt the written advice of the Helpline labor and employment law attorney prior to the termination of an employee. If, after you adopt the advice, you still receive a wrongful termination claim arising from that employee’s termination, the Retention that applies to that claim will be reduced by 50%. Please call the Helpline 866-567-9496 to get pre-termination advice.
Q.) What should we do if we are planning to have a reduction in force?
A reduction in force is obviously a very stressful time for your company and an event that may affect EPL insurers as well. The insurance carrier will provide coverage for the usual types of claims that arise in connection with and/or are associated with a reduction in force but the insurance carrier asks that you exercise caution before laying off any employee by consulting with a lawyer on our Helpline who specializes in labor and employment law. Please call the Helpline (866) 567-9496.
