What is ELTO?
The Employers Liability Tracing Office (ELTO) has been established to solve the problem of being unable to identify the insurers of companies for whom a claimant has worked. The aim is to give claimants and their representatives quick and easy access to an Employers’ Liability Database (ELD).
The ELD can be accessed by claimants, insurance companies, brokers, ELTO and solicitors acting on behalf of individuals who have been injured or developed a disease by being in the work place. Strict security is in place to prevent unauthorised access and to ensure the database is only used for legitimate purposes, in accordance with data protection legislation.
ELTO is a proactive initiative to ensure that claimants receive the support they require from insurers in an open and transparent way.
What will ELTO mean for you?
From April 2011 ELTO will EXPECT the following types of data relating to Employers Liability (EL) policies. Insurers need to supply this data and as their agents brokers will be required to gather the data from policy holders.
Information required from now on is as follows:
- Insured name/Trading name
- Cover start and end dates
- Insured address and postcode
- Employer reference number
All of the above for each subsidiary company that may be covered by the EL policy.
In addition:
- Your Employers Reference Number or Employers PAYE reference
