Employee Retirement Income Security Act liability
Liability under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) for the exposure arising out of the responsibility as an officer or fiduciary of a company for the handling of pension funding and other employee benefit plans.
Additional Information
Should the fiduciary responsibility be breached, the individual is personally liable for the loss. This resulting exposure is usually excluded from the general liability policy, even when employee benefits liability coverage is purchased. However, coverage may be purchased in the form of a separate fiduciary liability policy.
