Common Coverages for Staffing Agencies
Mason-McBride collaborates with staffing agencies and recruitment firms of all sizes to develop strategies that address day-to-day and long-term risks and meet contract and certificate-of-insurance (COI) requirements.
While needs vary by specialty, state, and contract language, common coverages include:
Workers Compensation Insurance:
Healthcare staffing agencies face unique workers’ comp exposures. This coverage can provide benefits to employees recovering from work-related injuries or illnesses and may extend support to families in the event of a workplace fatality. Factors such as job duties, payroll size, and claims history typically affect premium costs.
General Liability Insurance:
General liability coverage can help protect your employment agency against claims related to bodily injury, property damage, advertising injury, or certain allegations of errors or omissions. Without this coverage, your business may be responsible for legal costs, including attorney fees and settlements.
Cyber Liability Insurance:
Cyber liability insurance helps address data breaches involving personally identifiable information. Many policies can also include extortion coverage, business income protection, and systems failure due to a cyber event.
Professional Liability Insurance:
Professional liability, also known as E&O, helps protect against claims of negligence tied to professional services. A claim could arise if a client alleges financial loss due to an error, omission, or placement issue involving a healthcare professional.
Business Property Insurance:
Designed to help protect office contents, laptops, and mobile equipment from covered causes of loss. Consider inland marine for devices traveling to client locations and business income/extra expense for continuity.
Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)
Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) addresses claims arising from hiring, termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and, where available, wage-and-hour defense. It is an important risk management consideration for organizations with multi-site operations or per-diem workforces.
