Employment Practices
Employment practices protection responds to claims made by employees, former employees, job applicants and, in many cases, volunteers, alleging that they were treated unlawfully. Typical allegations include unfair or wrongful dismissal, discrimination, harassment, bullying, failure to promote, and breaches of workplace laws. Even a well-run organisation with good policies can find itself facing a claim of this kind.
The protection generally covers the cost of legal representation and any settlement or award that follows, and can also help with the practical cost of responding to a complaint before it reaches a tribunal or court. Baptist Insurance Services also provides risk management resources to help churches and organisations with sound employment and volunteer practices, which remain the best protection of all.
This is general information about the protection Baptist Insurance Services can arrange. What applies to your organisation depends on the cover in place, so please contact your State Manager with any questions.
