Collegiate Insurance Brokers is targeting small to medium-sized professional practices for its new employers' liability policy.
The policy is designed to cater for the mass of red tape created by new employment laws by including a comprehensive range of extra benefits.
Fergus Chappel, the company's product development manager, said: "The burden of compliance often falls more heavily on smaller companies which do not always have the necessary resources to keep abreast of developments in the fast-changing area of employment law."
The additional benefits that the Collegiate Employers Protection Service provides are:
- telephone access to a designated employment law specialist
- an employment procedures health check
- free model terms of employment
- free model employee handbook
- expert representation if the em-
ployer is taken to a tribunal.
There were 48,972 employment tribunals between April and September last year, which, when adjusted over a 12-month period, would mean 20,000 cases more than in 1998.
Collegiate has launched this policy in conjunction with Amicus Legal.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
