Do you need employers liability insurance?
If you require public liability insurance, it is likely you also need employers' liability insurance cover for your business. In 1968 the compulsory Employers Liability Act was filed, ensuring that employers have a minimum level of insurance to cover claims made by their employees. It is a legal requirement for any businesses that employ any staff, and the minimum cover by law is £5 million. If you require public liability and employers liability cover, it is possible to receive a combined quote for one policy with one renewal date.
