Question 1

Do I need EPLI if my first hires are contractors?

Accepted Answer

Misclassification itself is a frequent claim. We recommend EPLI before the first W-2 hire, with attention to how contractors are documented.

Question 2

How much EPLI coverage do startups typically buy?

Accepted Answer

Common starting limits are $1M, scaling to $2M–$5M with multi-state hiring or as headcount grows past 50.

Question 3

Does EPLI cover wage-and-hour claims?

Accepted Answer

Often as a sublimited extension. We confirm sublimit, retention, and defense-inside-or-outside-limits language for every quote.
