EMPLOYEE DISHONESTY COVERAGE

Protects business owners from the financial impact of an employee stealing money, securities, or property.

If business property, money, or financial securities are stolen or damaged due to an employee theft or other fraudulent act, business owners with Employee Dishonesty Coverage (also called Crime or Fidelity Coverage) may be reimbursed for their direct losses.

EMPLOYEE DISHONESTY COVERAGE HIGHLIGHTS

Employee theft and fraud are risks that nearly every business owner faces, especially if their employees have access to company bank accounts, cash, credit cards, or valuable business property. Whether an employee commits a single dishonest act or a series of related crimes, the financial losses can be significant, and even lead to bankruptcy.

The Andover Companies Employee Dishonesty Coverage is an optional endorsement that can be added to your Businessowners Insurance Policy to help you pay (up to the policy limit) for the direct losses or damages caused by a dishonest employee who acts alone or in collusion with others* to:

  • Steal Business Property, such as Inventory or Office Equipment
  • Embezzle or Steal Financial Instruments, such as Cash, Securities, Checks, or Money Orders
  • Commit Forgery or Fraud Using Checks, Promissory Notes, or Credit Cards
  • Conduct Unauthorized Wire Transfers

*Excluding a business owner and any of their partners.

  • How many employees do you have?
  • What are your annual revenues?
