Most employment practice liability insurance claims result from management failing to take training in the area seriously, an attorney cautioned an insurers group yesterday.
Speaking at the Professional Insurance Wholesalers Association midyear meeting in Pearl River, N.Y., Paul Siegel said, “Managers don't understand what this is all about because no one explains in real life terms what this is all about.”
For example, the lackluster employee who is barely surviving on the job for years finally goofs up once too often and gets fired. But lo and behold, he claims it is because he is over 40, or if it is a woman, because she just became pregnant, he said.
