Employers' Liability Insurance FAQs

Employers' Liability Insurance (EL) protects your business against claims from employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their work. It covers compensation awards and legal defence costs.
Yes. Under the Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969, you must have at least £5 million of EL cover if you employ anyone in the UK, including part-time, temporary and casual workers. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £2,500 per day.
The legal minimum is £5 million, but most insurers offer £10 million as standard. For businesses in high-risk sectors or with larger workforces, higher limits may be advisable.
Full-time, part-time, temporary, seasonal and zero-hours contract workers all count. Some policies also extend to labour-only subcontractors. Family members working for you may also need to be covered.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) can fine you £2,500 for each day you're without valid cover. You must also display your certificate of EL insurance at your workplace and make it available for inspection.
In many cases same-day cover and instant certificates are available. Complete our quick form and a specialist will get back to you promptly — often within the hour.
