... McKinney As the incidence of wrongful employment practice suits increases, savvy employers are taking proactive steps to control both the frequency and severity of claims. But even the most aggressive prevention measures won't completely insulate employers and others from loss. New insurance products covering employment-related liability can provide the backstop protection many employers need to avert catastrophe. Over the last 20 years, wrongful employment practice claims have risen at a rate 18 times faster than the proliferation of the Federal Court docket. In just four years-fiscal years 1990 to 1993- the Equal Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs) have recovered over $735 million from employers for violations of employment law. In 1994, a California State court in Los Angeles awarded nearly $90 million to two former Hughes Aircraft engineers because of discrimination. Even the largest law firm in the world found itself the target of an embarrassing sexual harassment suit. Today's businesses face not only the traditional obstacles of competition and keeping up with advances in technology, but must now face a whole new breed of potential adversary: one's own workforce. Even the best-run of companies are experiencing an explosion of employment-related claims. These can include: Wrongful discharge litigation Discrimination and sexual harassment claims Allegations of negligent hiring, retention, and supervision Wage and hour investigations Fringe benefit claims Increased unemployment, disability and Workers Compensation claims Unintended violations of Federal and state leave-of-absence laws Human resource professionals have known for years that communication of the employer's rules, policies, and procedures to the employees, as well as an early intervention in employment disputes or complaints, are effective in limiting ...

... 04 98), designated persons or organizations (EP 20 01 04 98), and newly acquired organizations (EP 01 01 04 98) . Insuring Agreement After an injury covered by the policy, the insuring agreement promises to pay those damages for which the insured has become legally obligated. Even though the term damages' isn't defined, the insuring agreement states that there is no obligation to pay civil or criminal fines or to provide services or perform acts not specifically described in the policy. The policy also contains a broad Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) exclusion, which denies coverage for ADA's requirement of equitable relief. The policy covers injuries arising only out of: Refusal to employ, termination, failure to promote, negative evaluation, reassignment, discipline, or defamation or humiliation linked to discrimination Coercive acts leading a person to commit a crime within the scope of employment  Work-related sexual harassment  Other types of work-related verbal, physical, mental, or emotional abuse targeting a class or characteristic protected by any federal or state law or local statute, rule, or regulation. The covered items contained in the definition of injury' replace the terms wrongful termination, ' discrimination, ' sexual harassment, ' and wrongful employment torts, ' all of which are common in other EPL insurance policies. However, keep in mind that such terms have no standardized meaning. You should carefully review how these terms are defined in order to determine the actual scope of coverage. Note that the ISO policy's coverage for refusal to employ, failure to promote, termination, negative evaluation ...

... function successfully, questions about that skill or experience are probably illegal. Process all candidates equally through your hiring procedure. In case of a legal challenge, it's important to be able to show that you have used a consistent procedure. Have every candidate complete an application. If you use testing, test all applicants. Check everyone's references. Then put each applicant's information in a candidate pool for evaluation and selection. Increasingly, state and federal governmental bodies regulate human resources issues. Before you begin interviewing candidates, it's a good idea to review the laws regulating the hiring process. You can obtain detailed information about these laws from your local Chamber of Commerce or from your state Department of Labor. Check the government pages of the phone book to contact these departments. The Application In cases claiming hiring discrimination, emphasis has been given to statistics gathered on applications collected over time. For example, if someone charges you with not hiring divorced people, and an audit of your applications shows that a disproportionate number of divorced people were bypassed, a case for discrimination against divorced people can be made. A good application form can help overcome the problems associated with discrimination in hiring. A question on an application is safe if it is job-related and the information requested is necessary for successful completion of the job. Standard application forms that comply with federal regulations are available through office supply stores, if you choose not to create your own. What To Ask And What Not To Ask Your application form should capture information about the candidate's work experience and qualifications for the position. The basic areas to explore, ...
