Employee Theft

3) Blanket (any employee) (included in the basic insuring agreement)

Page 25: 1 ““ Miscellaneous Commercial Coverages: Part 1” Webcast (2 hours) ““ Miscellaneous Commercial Coverages: Part 1” Tom Ashley, AAI, AIAM, AIP © Florida.

(The company may cancel as to any employee with 30 days written notice to the insured.)

Employee Theft

Coverage excludes loss caused by any employee for whom similar prior insurance has been canceled and not later reinstated. (Could be current carrier or previous carrier.)

There is also no coverage for a loss if the proof is dependent upon inventory shortage or a profit and loss computation. However, such records may be used to document the amount of a loss.

Employee Theft

Employee Theft

“Occurrence” means:

“all losses caused by, or involving, one or more “employees,” whether the result of a single act or series of acts.”

--- Employee theft occurs over a long period of time. Frequently, the employee steals small amounts on numerous occasions. Each theft is not a separate occurrence; the occurrence limit applies to all the thefts.

Reducing Employee Theft

3 key indicators employees will steal from employer

1) Perceived pressure

--- The pressure to steal is generated by the need for funds.

--- 95% of all fraud cases involve either financial or vice-related problems.

--- Few employees who steal from their employer save or hoard the stolen property.

37

Directors and officers of corporations and other organizations face personal liability exposures that the usual liability policies do not address.

D&Os are responsible for managing the financial affairs of and establishing policies for the organization -- could result in claims by others that decisions made by the D&Os , either individually or collectively, resulted in some harm to the organization or to the individual making the claim.

Page 38: 1 ““ Miscellaneous Commercial Coverages: Part 1” Webcast (2 hours) ““ Miscellaneous Commercial Coverages: Part 1” Tom Ashley, AAI, AIAM, AIP © Florida.

38

Standard commercial polices, such as CGL and business auto, cover directors and officers, but only for claims arising out of bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage.

Organizations, both profit and non-profit, would have a hard time finding leaders willing to serve without D&O insurance in place.

Covers personal assets from claims arising out of decisions made in good faith.

D&O Policies

D&O policies are similar to E&O policies because there is no single standard policy form and are written on a claims-made basis.

Despite being non-standard, all D&O policies have similarities. They each have 1) a declarations page, 2) an insuring agreement, 3) definitions, 4) exclusions, 5) and deductibles or retentions.

D&O Policies

1) Dec Page:

Contains the usual stuff: named insured, address, policy period, limit of liability, etc.

The limit of liability is usually expressed as an aggregate for all claims during the policy period, including defense costs.

42

D&O Policies

2) Insuring Agreement:

a) Direct liability coverage for the D&Os wrongful acts, covering claims for which the organization does not indemnify the individual in accordance with its charter or bylaws.

b) Reimbursement coverage for the organization itself for payments it is obligated to make to indemnify its D&Os.

D&O Policies

2) Insuring Agreement:

So, the D&O policy does not cover the organization itself. It only responds to claims brought against the organization’s directors and officers – either individually or collectively.

D&O Policies

3) Definitions:

a) “Wrongful act” – any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act or omission, or neglect or breach of duty by the directors or officers in the discharge of their duties solely by reason of their being directors and officers of the organizations shown in the declarations.

D&O Policies

3) Definitions:

b) “Covered persons” – persons who were, are, or may be duly elected or appointed directors and officers of the organization, and also the estates, heirs, or legal representatives of deceased directors and officers.

Heirs are covered! How important is that to someone considering whether or not to serve?

Most D&O policies show two deductibles on the Dec page:

1) Applies to each director and officer

2) Applies as an aggregate deductible

50

D&O Policies

D&O insurance is usually provided by surplus lines carriers, but some admitted companies have recently entered the market with programs targeted to specific industries or types of organizations.

Underwriters want organizations with long and strong histories of successful operations. The organization’s financial info is vital and submission of financial statements for the three most recent years along with a detailed app is required. Previous claims or suits against the organization or D&Os must be disclosed.

Page 51: 1 ““ Miscellaneous Commercial Coverages: Part 1” Webcast (2 hours) ““ Miscellaneous Commercial Coverages: Part 1” Tom Ashley, AAI, AIAM, AIP © Florida.

51

D&O Policies

Because the policy excludes any claim arising out of circumstances of which a covered person is aware at the time of the application for coverage, producers should be certain that each covered person is polled before indicating there are no such circumstances.

D&O Policies

For-profit corporations of all sizes should carry D&O insurance.

Non-profit organizations in your community should carry it as well. Churches, social clubs, charitable organizations, condominium and neighborhood associations, trade associations, to name a few.
