Employers' Liability Insurance is compulsory for any business that has one or more employees whether they are permanent, part time or temporary.

In this respect you are exempt from the need to purchase Employers' Liability Insurance. You should note that Qdos Contractor Employers' Liability Insurance cannot be purchased in isolation and is only available where Qdos Freelancer Public Liability Insurance is purchased.
Office Based Non-Manual Contractors
FROM £46.80 (Public Liability Only)
If you are providing your services in an office environment and do not undertake any manual work (e.g. involving tools), your exposure to the type of claims covered under an Employers and Public Liability policy are inevitably low. With this in mind, Qdos are able to offer appropriately priced policies that will allow you to meet your statutory and/or contractual obligations.
Offshore (energy sector) contractors
FROM £112.40 (Public Liability Only)
The offshore working environment is highly specialised and, consequentially, many insurers choose to avoid offering cover to those providing services in such locations. Qdos has worked hard to understand the risks associated with offshore work and are able to offer Employers and Public Liability to a wide variety of self-employed workers (including those providing rope access services) at highly competitive rates.
Qdos’ Employers and Public Liability insurance policies for contractors is underwritten by HCC International. The Public Liability section of cover is offered with a £5m limit of indemnity; the Employers Liability section provides £10m cover whilst onshore, and £5m whilst offshore.
