The Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland Counties Municipal Joint Insurance Fund (i.e. the Trico JIF) has produced a table showing that three of its thirty-six member municipalities are being penalized for being out of compliance with the JIF's rules. The report, which is dated July 6, 2015, is the most recent report available. I called Paul Forlenza, the JIF's Deputy Executive Director to find out what that means. Here's what I learned.The JIF offers its municipal members different types of insurance coverage. Among them is Employment Practice Liability (EPL) insurance that covers towns sued by an employees for wrongful termination, sexual harassment, discrimination, invasion of privacy or similar claims.
