What is Employee Dishonesty Insurance?
Business owners need to consider and be prepared for the financial and other impacts of employee theft, fraud, and other dishonest actions.
Employee dishonesty insurance helps mitigate these risks by compensating business owners for employee actions that may cause physical or financial harm to the business.
Coverage may protect against theft, financial forgeries and alterations, credit card fraud, cybercrimes, loss of business property, embezzlement, and unauthorized money transfers.
The policies also have exclusions that are important to understand.
Along with full- and part-time workers, a policy can also cover temporary employees, seasonal laborers, contractors, volunteers, board members, and trustees.
