Employers Liability Insurance NZ — Gradual-Process Cover
Employers liability — NZ commercial liability cover
NZ's Accident Compensation Act bars most employer claims for accidental workplace injury — ACC absorbs them. Employers Liability fills the gap for gradual-process bodily injury (stress, occupational disease, asbestos) that ACC does not cover.
FCIB panel — wording on file
Six NZ commercial insurers sit on the FCIB panel. The table below shows the wording version we have on file for each one, with its tier (A = current ≤ 12 months, B = stale 12–24 months, C = third-party mirror, D = historical). Empty rows mean we don't have a current wording on file — request the latest from the insurer via FCIB.
