PF&M ANALYSIS:

ISO COMMERCIAL CRIME COVERAGE FORMS AND POLICIES ANALYSIS

(February 2014)

E. CONDITIONS

These conditions apply in addition to the Common Policy Conditions.

2. Conditions Applicable to Insuring Agreement A. 1: Employee Theft

a. Termination as to Any Employee

This insuring agreement ends with respect to any employee based on the earlier of the following:

  • As soon as the named insured, its partners, members, managers, officers, directors, or trustees learn that an employee has committed theft or any other dishonest act either before or after being employed.

Example: Sherry is watching a rerun of a reality crime show and is shocked to see the on-screen arrest of Jackie, who she had hired six months earlier and who she considers trustworthy. Sherry decides not to share this information with her business partners. Jackie disappears two months later along with half of the company’s inventory. Coverage is denied because examination under oath reveals that Sherry knew about Jackie’s past.

  • On the date specified in a notice the insurance company mails to the first named insured. That date must be at least 30 days after the date the notice is mailed. The notice is mailed to the last mailing address of the first named insured that the insurance company knew about. Proof of mailing is sufficient proof that the notice was sent.

b. Territory

Coverage applies to losses caused by employees located temporarily outside the United States of America, its territories and possessions, Puerto Rico, and Canada. However, it is limited to the employee being outside this territory for not more than 90 consecutive days.

Note: This coverage does not apply to employees who permanently relocate to other countries.
