Employers Liability Insurance
Employers Liability Insurance for cleaners is legally required for those cleaning business in the UK that have direct employees or use labour only sub contractors.
Why is it legally required?
Employers are responsible for the health and safety of their employees while they are at work. Your employees may be injured at work or they, or your former employees, may become ill as a result of their work while in your employment. They might try to claim compensation from you if they believe you are responsible. The Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969 ensures that you have at least a minimum level of insurance cover against any such claims.
Can you buy Employers Liability Insurance on its own?
No, it is bought as part of a combined liability insurance policy along with public liability insurance.
