Margins are thin. Is EPL affordable?

Class-specialty carriers price it to be carried; one travel-time demand costs more than years of it.

Travel between sites — compensable?

Mid-shift site-to-site, generally yes. Route design and honest clocks prevent the claim; negotiated terms defend it.

Client took the account and the crew?

Displacement and rehire rules vary by city; we flag them so contract turns do not become claims.

Headcount, routes, practices, history — one application to class specialists.

Janitorial & Commercial Cleaning Companies Insurance: EPL, D&O & Management Liability

Why janitorial & commercial cleaning companies face employment claims

Site-to-site travel time, supply-load time, and scope creep beyond bid hours generate wage claims that sweep every account a crew touches.

Night crews with lone supervisors create harassment-response exposure — complaints lost between site and office become the company’s failure regardless of the offender.

Beyond EPL: the rest of the management liability picture

Contract losses trigger crew reductions needing documented reassignment efforts; client-site key and alarm data carries modest cyber stakes. Explore D&O insurance, cyber liability, and fiduciary liability, or start with employment practices liability.

What a claim can look like

Illustrative scenario

Crews claim unpaid travel between three nightly sites across eighteen months; route sheets price it to the minute.

Illustrative scenario

A cleaner’s harassment complaint against a site supervisor stalls at the account manager; the delay, not the conduct, becomes the company’s claim.

Scenarios are illustrative composites, not descriptions of actual claims or outcomes. Whether any claim is covered depends on the policy issued.
