Management Liability
Management liability insurance covers the personal liability of the Directors and Officers of the business for their responsibilities relating to; company management, corporate governance and statutory compliance.
The insurance policy covers the business for employment-related actions such as wrongful dismissal or workplace harassment. It covers (most) statutory fines and penalties the business may incur as a result of breaching legislation or regulation.
Management Liability policies vary in the benefits they provide but typically cover (as per the policy terms and conditions):
- Employment Practices Liability – covers employment breaches such as wrongful dismissal, harassment or discrimination
- Directors’ and Officers’ Liability – protects directors and officers against claims of wrongful acts including breach of fiduciary duty
- Statutory Liability – protects the company, its directors and officers against fines and penalties imposed following a breach of legislation
- Crime – protects your business against employee or third party fraud
Case Study
An employee was caught accessing inappropriate websites and sending inappropriate emails during office hours. The employee was dismissed for breaching the company’s internet policy. Fair Work Australia found that the decision to dismiss was unfair. They took into account the employee’s previous good behaviour and the fact that the internet policy was regularly breached by other employees without consequence. They also found the employee was not given the opportunity to respond to the allegations before the dismissal. The company was ordered to pay $50,000 compensation and had legal bills amounting to $40,000.
