The short answer

General liability and BOP exclude employment claims. EPLI is a separate coverage (usually $1M/$1M limit) that pays defense and settlement for wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wage/hour claims. Cost: $500–$2,500/year for small employers. Third-party EPLI adds coverage for customer/vendor discrimination claims.
