Federal Managers-Know Your Exposure
If you are a manager in the federal government, you probably already realize that you have greater exposure to administrative actions. Whether it is EEO complaints, whistleblower retaliation allegations, or hostile work environment allegations, federal managers are regularly subjected to investigations and allegations, even if the underlying allegation proves to be baseless. In the event of an allegation, the cost of legal representation, as well as the resulting emotional and mental stress, can be devastating. In this tumultuous landscape, federal managers can protect themselves with professional liability insurance (PLI) from FEDS Protection.

Federal managers can protect themselves with a FEDS Protection PLI policy. FEDS Protection offers policies with $1 million, $2 million, or $3 million in civil liability protection for attorney’s fees and indemnity costs in the event you are sued in your civil capacity for actions taken within the scope of your employment. Our policy also includes $200,000 of legal representation coverage per incident for administrative actions, including employment practices actions, and $100,000 of coverage for criminal defense costs arising out of actions taken within the scope of your employment. Annual premiums for FEDS Protection PLI start at $290, which is less than it would typically cost to hire a federal employment lawyer for an hour. Additionally, federal managers are eligible for a reimbursement of up to 50% of the cost of their PLI policy through their agency.
