Human Resources

Businesses are having to cope with a wide range of Human Resource related issues, that are driven by regulatory bodies, both from the United Kingdom and from Europe. Whistleblowing, human rights, racial and disability discrimination to name but a few.  The physical and mental welfare of employees is now a major part of everyday operations, and trying to cope with the regulatory minefield is a drain on resources. The responsibility does not just stop at Employment Practice, it continues into Employee Pension Schemes too.

Employees now have far more opportunities to bring action against employers especially with the advent of new regulations like minimum wage, disability discrimination, paternal rights and even data protection.

Fortunately we are here to help. We can provide insurance cover for claims made against management including Directors, supervisors, and managers. Our insurance can help with claims for breach of Employment Practice regulations, whether they be actual breaches or just alleged. We can also help if you are accused (rightly or wrongly) of failure to address a range of issues, such as sexual harassment, racial discrimination, failure to promote staff, and many others.

Furthermore we can provide Pension Trustee Liability insurance which will assist for claims where breach of duty are alleged. Given the complexity of the rules relating to this area, this cover is invaluable if you offer Occupational Pension Schemes/Stakeholder Pensions. Remember that these rules continue to increase in range and complexity.
