Employment & Management Liability
Can I buy these lines separately?
Yes. EPL, D&O, and crime can each stand alone, but carriers often package them on one management liability policy with a single renewal, which is simpler to manage.

About employment and management liability
Once you have employees and a board, three lines of coverage start to matter: EPL for employee claims, D&O for leadership decisions, and crime or employee dishonesty for internal theft. They are commonly written as a package on a single management liability policy.
What this policy responds to
The core exposures this coverage line responds to.
Employee claims (EPL): wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation
Leadership exposure (D&O): board and officer decisions, fiduciary duty
Internal theft and forgery (crime / employee dishonesty)
Typical operators on this line
Who we most often place this coverage for.
Any employer with staff and a board or officers
Lenders and financial-services firms with crime requirements
Growing companies adding their first independent directors
What this policy does not cover
Common gaps clients assume are included. These usually need a separate line or an endorsement.
Bodily injury or property damage claims
Unpaid wages owed (separate from defense of a wage claim)
Fraud committed by the very leaders a D&O claim names
What drives the cost
Underwriters price this line on your specifics, not a flat rate. These are the factors that move a premium up or down.
Headcount, revenue, and balance-sheet size
Industry and ownership structure
Prior employment or governance claims
Limits, deductibles, and which lines you bundle

Less Duplicate Work for You
Atlas figures out what data each form needs, then reuses what you have already given us so the same question does not come around twice. That is how approvals come faster.
