AOP membership has you and your business covered

“Louise has been fantastic in dealing with our ongoing HR issue. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Plus, a pleasure to deal with”

You’re covered for the acts and omissions of dispensing opticians and other practice staff

Without vicarious liability insurance, you could be liable for the actions of an employee. We include vicarious liability insurance as standard as part of your membership.

Your business is covered if a claim comes in after an employee or locum member has stopped working for you

As long as you continue to meet the eligibility criteria for the vicarious liability cover through your AOP membership when the claim is notified, your business will be covered.

Employer members can access expert guidance, advice and resources. Download and use our template HR policies and letters, or speak to one of our employment law experts if you have questions or an issue with an employee.
