Employers' liability compulsory insurance

Employers are responsible for the health and safety of their employees while they are at work. So you will need this insurance if you employ anyone. This differs from public liability insurance, which is voluntary and covers you for claims made by members of the public or other businesses. Employers' liability insurance covers you for claims made by employees and you can be fined if you do not hold a current employers' liability insurance policy.


Legislation

Statutory Instrument 1998 No. 2573 The Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Regulations 1998.
