Basis of Presentation [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Operations Nature of Operations and Organization Employers Holdings, Inc. (EHI) is a Nevada holding company. Through its wholly owned insurance subsidiaries, Employers Insurance Company of Nevada (EICN), Employers Compensation Insurance Company (ECIC), Employers Preferred Insurance Company (EPIC), Employers Assurance Company (EAC), and Cerity Insurance Company (CIC), EHI is engaged in the commercial property and casualty insurance industry, specializing in workers' compensation products and services. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the "Company" refer to EHI, together with its subsidiaries. In 1999, the Nevada State Industrial Insurance System (the Fund) entered into a 100% quota share reinsurance agreement (the LPT Agreement) through a loss portfolio transfer transaction with third party reinsurers. The LPT Agreement commenced on June 30, 1999 and will remain in effect until: (i) all claims under the covered policies have closed; (ii) the LPT Agreement is commuted or terminated upon the mutual agreement of the parties; or (iii) the reinsurers' aggregate maximum limit of liability is exhausted, whichever occurs first. The LPT Agreement does not provide for any additional termination terms. On January 1, 2000, EICN assumed all of the assets, liabilities and operations of the Fund, including the Fund's rights and obligations associated with the LPT Agreement. See Notes 2 and 10. The Company accounts for the LPT Agreement as retroactive reinsurance. Upon entry into the LPT Agreement, an initial deferred reinsurance gain (the Deferred Gain) was recorded as a liability on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is entitled to receive a contingent profit commission under the LPT Agreement. The contingent profit commission is estimated based on both actual paid results to date and projections of expected paid losses under the LPT Agreement and is recorded as an asset on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates through two reportable segments: Employers and Cerity . Each of the segments represents a separate and distinct underwriting platform through which the Company conducts insurance business. This presentation allows the reader, as well as the Company's chief operating decision makers, to objectively analyze the business originated through each of the Company's underwriting platforms. Detailed financial information about the Company's operating segments is presented in Note 19. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. The most significant areas that require management judgment are the estimate of unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE), evaluation of reinsurance recoverables, recognition of premium revenue, recoverability of deferred income taxes, and valuation of investments. Reclassifications Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Acquisition On July 31, 2019, the Company acquired (the Acquisition) PartnerRe Insurance Company of New York (PRNY) from Partner Reinsurance Company of the U.S. (PRUS). The purchase price was equal to the sum of: (i) $47.6 million, the amount of statutory capital and surplus of PRNY at closing; and (ii) $5.8 million. The Company funded the Acquisition with cash on hand. As a result of the purchase, the Company acquired $37.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, $10.3 million of fixed maturity securities, $5.8 million of intangible assets (comprised of state licenses), $6.8 million of other assets, $6.8 million of other liabilities, and $48.3 million of gross loss and LAE reserves, which were offset by $48.3 million of reinsurance recoverables, resulting in no net loss and LAE reserves. The Company did not acquire any employees or ongoing business operations pursuant to the Acquisition. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, all liabilities and obligations of PRNY existing as of the closing date, whether known or unknown, will be indemnified by PRUS. In addition, PartnerRe Ltd., the parent company of PRUS, has provided the Company with a guaranty that unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance by PRUS of all of its obligations, liabilities and indemnities under the purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. If PRUS and PartnerRe Ltd. were to fail to honor their obligations to the Company under the purchase agreement, all or a portion of the remaining gross loss and LAE reserves acquired by the Company pursuant to the Acquisition would become the Company's responsibility. Subsequent to completing the Acquisition, PRNY was renamed CIC. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all liquid investments with maturities of less than three months, as measured from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Restricted cash and cash equivalents represent cash and cash equivalents held in trust in order to secure certain of the Company's obligations and, accordingly, are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company held $3.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively, in cash and investments in trust for reinsurance obligations, of which $0.2 million, represented restricted cash and cash equivalents for each year. Short-Term Investments The Company considers all liquid investments with maturities of between three and twelve months, as measured from the date of purchase, to be short-term investments. Investment Securities The Company's investments in fixed maturity securities and short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale (AFS) and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of deferred taxes, in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's investments in equity securities at fair value are not classified as AFS and changes in fair value are included in Net realized and unrealized gains on investments on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The Company's investment in FHLB stock is presented within Equity securities at cost on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's investments in other invested assets are reported at either net asset value or fair value and changes in the value of these investments are included in Net realized and unrealized gains on investments on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Beginning in 2020, with the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) , the Company's investments in fixed maturity securities are presented net of an allowance for current expected credit losses (CECL). The Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to its fair value. For AFS debt securities that do not meet either criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. The changes in the Company's allowance for CECL on investments are included in Net realized and unrealized gains on investments on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (see Note 6). Prior to adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) , the determination of an other-than-temporary decline for fixed maturity securities and other invested assets included, in addition to other relevant factors, a presumption that if the market value was below cost by a significant amount for a period of time, a bifurcation of the write-down may be necessary based on the portion of the loss that was deemed to be a "credit loss", which was considered a realized loss, and the portion that was deemed to be an "other than credit loss", which was considered to be an unrealized loss. If management had the intent to sell the security or more likely than not would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the investment was written down to its fair value and the entire impairment was recorded as a realized loss in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. If management did not have the intent to sell or would not be required to sell the security but did not expect to recover the amortized cost or cost basis of the security, the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment was bifurcated (see Note 5). Investment income consists primarily of interest and dividends generated by investment securities. Interest is recorded as earned on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded as earned at the ex-dividend date. Interest income on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities is determined using the effective-yield method based on estimated principal repayments. Mortgage-backed securities are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discount or amortization of premium of such securities using the retrospective method. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on a specific-identification basis. Recognition of Revenue and Expense Revenue Recognition Premiums written are recognized as revenues, net of any applicable underlying reinsurance coverage, and recognized as earned, over the period of the contract in proportion to the amount of insurance protection provided. At the end of the policy term, payroll-based premium audits are performed on substantially all policyholder accounts to determine the actual amount of net premiums earned for that policy year. Earned but unbilled premiums include estimated future audit premiums based on the Company's historical experience. These estimates are subject to changes in policyholders' payrolls, economic conditions, and seasonality, and are continually reviewed and adjusted as experience develops or new information becomes known. Any such adjustments are included in current operations; however, they are partially offset by the resulting changes in losses and LAE, commission expenses, and premium taxes. The Company's premiums receivable on its Consolidated Balance Sheets included $13.8 million and $2.3 million of additional premiums expected to be received from policyholders for premium audits at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company establishes an allowance for CECL (see Note 6) on its premiums receivable through a charge included in underwriting and general and administrative expenses in its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. This allowance for CECL is determined based on estimates (collectability and historical payment patterns) and assumptions to project future experience. After all collection efforts have been exhausted, the Company reduces the allowance for CECL for write-offs of premiums receivable that have been deemed uncollectible. The Company's allowance for CECL was $10.3 million and $10.8 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had write offs of $2.5 million, $6.8 million, and $10.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs Policy acquisition costs, those costs that relate directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts, including underwriting, policy issuance and processing, medical and inspection, sales force contract selling and commissions are deferred and amortized as the related premiums are earned. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, was $92.2 million, $97.5 million, and $107.7 million, respectively. If the sum of a policy's expected losses and LAE and deferred policy acquisition costs exceeds the related unearned premiums and projected investment income, a premium deficiency is determined to exist. In this event, deferred policy acquisition costs are immediately expensed to the extent necessary to eliminate the premium deficiency. If the premium deficiency exceeds deferred acquisition costs, a liability is accrued for the excess deficiency. There were no premium deficiency adjustments recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. Unpaid Loss and LAE Reserves Unpaid loss and LAE reserves represent management's best estimate of the ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported losses incurred for the applicable periods, less payments made. The estimated reserves for losses and LAE include the accumulation of estimates for all claims reported prior to the balance sheet date, estimates of claims incurred but not reported, and estimates of expenses for investigating and adjusting all incurred and unadjusted claims (based on projections of relevant historical data). Amounts reported are subject to the impact of future changes in economic, regulatory and social conditions. Management believes that, subject to the inherent variability in any such estimate, the reserves are within a reasonable and acceptable range of adequacy. Estimates for claims prior to the balance sheet date are continually monitored and reviewed, and as settlements are made or reserves adjusted, the differences are reported in current operations. Salvage and subrogation recoveries are estimated based on a review of the level of historical salvage and subrogation recoveries. Reinsurance In the ordinary course of business, the Company purchases excess of loss reinsurance in order to protect it against the impact of large and/or catastrophic losses. Additionally, the Company is a party to the LPT Agreement (see Note 10). These reinsurance arrangements reduce the Company's exposure to such losses since its reinsurers are liable to the Company to the extent of the reinsurance protection provided. However, the Company remains liable for all losses it incurs to the extent that any reinsurer is unable or unwilling to make timely payments under its reinsurance agreements. Balances due from reinsurers on unpaid losses, including an estimate of such recoverables related to reserves for incurred but not reported losses, are reported as reinsurance recoverables on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Reinsurance recoverables on paid losses represent amounts currently due from reinsurers. Reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses represent amounts that will be collectible from reinsurers once the losses are paid. Reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses and LAE amounted to $476.3 million and $496.6 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Beginning in 2020, with the adoption of ASU 2016-13 , the Company's reinsurance recoverables are presented net of an allowance for CECL. The changes in the Company's allowance for CECL are included in underwriting and general and administrative expenses on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (see Note 6). This allowance for CECL is determined based on historical information, financial strength of reinsurers, collateralization amounts and ratings to determine the appropriateness of the allowance. Ceded reinsurance premiums are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the underlying premiums, and are reported as reductions to arrive at net premiums written and earned. Ceded losses and LAE are also accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the relevant reinsurance agreement, and are recorded as reductions to losses and LAE incurred. Pursuant to the LPT Agreement, LAE is deemed to be 7% of total losses paid and is payable to the Company as compensation for management of the claims under the LPT Agreement. The Deferred Gain is amortized using the recovery method, whereby the amortization is determined by the proportion of actual reinsurance recoveries to total estimated recoveries through the life of the LPT Agreement, and is recorded in losses and LAE incurred in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Any adjustment to the estimated loss and LAE reserves ceded under the LPT Agreement results in a cumulative adjustment to the Deferred Gain, which is also recognized in losses and LAE incurred in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, such that the Deferred Gain reflects the balance that would have existed had the revised reserves been recognized at the inception of the LPT Agreement (LPT Reserve Adjustment). Additionally, the Company is entitled to receive a contingent profit commission under the LPT Agreement. The contingent profit commission is equal to 30% of the favorable difference between actual paid losses and LAE and expected paid losses and LAE as established in the LPT Agreement based on losses paid through June 30, 2024. The contingent profit commission is paid every five years beginning June 30, 2004 for the first 25 years of the agreement. The Company could be required to return any previously received contingent profit commission, plus interest, in the event of unfavorable differences through June 30, 2024. The Company records an estimate of contingent profit commission on its Consolidated Balance Sheets as Contingent commission receivable–LPT Agreement and a corresponding liability is recorded as Deferred reinsurance gain–LPT Agreement. The Contingent commission receivable–LPT Agreement is reduced as amounts are received from participating reinsurers. In 2019, the Company received $19.1 million in cash related to the contingent profit commission. The Deferred reinsurance gain–LPT Agreement is amortized using the recovery method. The amortization of the contingent profit commission is determined by the proportion of actual reinsurance recoveries to total estimated recoveries over the life of the contingent profit commission (through June 30, 2024), and is recorded in losses and LAE incurred in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Any adjustment to the contingent profit commission under the LPT Agreement results in a cumulative adjustment to the Deferred Gain, which is also recognized in losses and LAE incurred in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, such that the Deferred Gain reflects the balance that would have existed had the revised contingent profit commission been recognized at the inception of the LPT Agreement (LPT Contingent Commission Adjustment). Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (see Note 7). Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations as incurred. Electronic data processing equipment, software, furniture and equipment, and automobiles are depreciated using the straight-line method over three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are also carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes leasehold improvements using the straight-line method over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the remaining original lease term, excluding options or renewal periods. Leasehold improvements are generally amortized over three to eight years. Cloud Computing Arrangements The Company capitalizes software license fees and implementation costs associated with hosting arrangements that are service contracts. These amounts are included in Cloud computing arrangements on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of the software license fees is calculated using the straight-line method over the term of the service contract or based on the expected utilization of the asset. Amortization of the implementation costs are calculated using the straight-line method based on the term of the service contract and commence once the module or component is ready for its intended use, regardless of whether the hosted software has been placed into service, and will be recognized over the remaining life of the service contract. Operating leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the transaction. Leased office property meets the definition of operating leases under ASC 842 and is presented as a right-of-use asset (ROU asset) and lease liability on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease payments arising from the lease transaction. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses collateralized incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of lease payments. The ROU assets also include lease payments less any lease incentives within a lease agreement. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate a lease. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company elected the practical expedients in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements and ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , allowing it to apply provisions of the guidance at the date of adoption without adjusting comparative periods presented (see Note 12). Finance Leases Leased property and equipment meeting finance lease criteria are capitalized at the lower of the present value of the related lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. Financing leases for automobiles are included in property and equipment in other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method based on the term of the lease and is included in the depreciation expense of property and equipment. See Note 12 for additional disclosures related to finance leases. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the Company's financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. As of December 22, 2017, the date that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted (Enactment), the effect of the change in tax rates on the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities was recognized in income and created stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income that did not reflect the newly enacted tax rate. The Company reclassified the net tax effects from Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, to Retained earnings as of the date of Enactment. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes , on the basis of a two-step process. Recognition (Step 1) occurs when the Company concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (Step 2) is addressed only if Step 1 has been satisfied. Under Step 2, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets when it determines that such assets are more likely than not to be realized in future periods. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, tax-planning strategies, projected future taxable income, projected future tax rates, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that it could realize its deferred tax assets in future periods, it would establish a deferred tax asset valuation allowance that would increase the Company's provision for income taxes. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash equivalents), short-term investments, investment securities, premiums receivable, and reinsurance recoverable balances. The Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments include investments in money market securities and securities backed by the U.S. government. The Company's investment securities are diversified throughout many industries and geographic regions and include investments in U.S. government and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. The Company believes that it has no significant concentrations of credit risk from a single issue or issuer within its cash equivalents, short-term investments and investment securities other than concentrations in U.S. government and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. The Company's premiums receivable are generally diversified due to the large number of entities composing the Company's policyholder base and their dispersion across many different industries. The Company monitors the financial condition of its reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The Company also obtains collateral from its reinsurers in order to mitigate the risks related to insolvencies. At December 31, 2021, $1.8 million was held as collateral by cash or letters of credit for the Company's reinsurance recoverables and an additional $432.5 million was in trust accounts for reinsurance recoverables specifically related to the LPT Agreement. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair values of the Company's financial instruments have been determined using available market information and other appropriate valuation methodologies. Judgment is required in developing fair value estimates where quoted market prices are not available. Accordingly, these estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or estimating methodologies may have an effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, premiums receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and other liabilities. The carrying amounts for each of these financial instruments as reported in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values. Investment securities. The Company's investment securities are predominantly valued on the basis of actual market transactions or observable inputs. A small portion of the Company's investment securities are valued on the basis of pricing models with significant unobservable inputs or nonbinding broker quotes. See Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company formally tests for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the fourth quarter of each year. At the end of each quarter, management considers the results of the previous analysis as well as any recent developments that may constitute triggering events requiring the impairment analysis of goodwill and other intangible assets to be updated. The Company assessed the effects of current economic conditions on the Company's financial condition and results of operations and changes in the Company's fair value and determined that there were no impairments of these assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Intangible assets related to state licenses are not subject to amortization. Intangibles related to insurance relationships were amortized in proportion to the expected period of benefit and were fully amortized as of December 31, 2021. The gross carrying value, accumulated amortization, and net carrying value for the Company's intangible assets, by major class, as of December 31, were as follows: 2021 2020 Gross Accumulated Net Gross Accumulated Net (in millions) State licenses $ 13.5 $ — $ 13.5 $ 13.5 $ — $ 13.5 Insurance relationships 9.4 $ (9.4) — 9.4 $ (9.4) — Other 0.1 — 0.1 0.1 — 0.1 Total $ 23.0 $ (9.4) $ 13.6 $ 23.0 $ (9.4) $ 13.6 There was no amortization expense in 2021 or 2020. These amortization expenses are included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income in underwriting and general and administrative expenses. Stock-Based Compensation The Company provides stock-based compensation to its directors and certain of its employees, which is recognized in its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income based on estimated grant date fair values over the relevant service period (see Note 14). |

New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items] | |
New Accounting Standards | New Accounting Standards Recently Issued Accounting Standards In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) . This update provides optional transition guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), with optional expedients and exceptions related to the application of US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. Companies can apply this ASU immediately, but early adoption is only available through December 31, 2022 when the ASU becomes effective. The Company has and will continue to evaluate the impact of LIBOR on its existing contracts and investments, but does not expect that this update will have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In October 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-10, Codification Improvements . This update ensures all disclosure guidance that requires or provides an option for an entity to provide notes to the financial statements is included in the Disclosure Section (Section 50) of the Codification. This update also provides various codification improvements in which the original guidance was unclear. This update becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted for any annual or interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company has determined that the impact of this standard is not material to its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08 , Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivable-Nonrefundable fees and other costs. The amendments in that Update shortened the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium by requiring that entities amortize the premium associated with those callable debt securities within the scope of paragraph 310-20-25-33 to the earliest call date. The amendments affect the guidance in Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments is this update become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company has determined that the impact of this standard is not material to its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). This update simplifies the accounting for income taxes within Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) topic 740 by removing certain exceptions and clarifies existing guidance. The Company has determined that the impact of this standard is not material to its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments . The amendments in this update represent changes to clarify, correct errors in, or improve the codification within various ASC topics. The Company adopted the updates related to Topic 815 when it adopted ASU 2016-13 . The Company determined that the impact of these improvements was not material to its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This update removes the disclosure requirements for the amounts of and the reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 and disclosure of the policy for timing of transfers between levels. This update also removes disclosure requirements for the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, this update adds disclosure requirements for the changes in unrealized gains and losses for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and quantitative information for certain unobservable inputs in Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, in March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments. This update provided clarification and eliminated inconsistencies on a variety of topics within the codification. The Company adopted the applicable standards and there was no impact on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) . This update simplifies the measurement of goodwill by eliminating the performance of Step 2 in the goodwill impairment analysis. This update allows the testing to be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge when the carrying amount exceeds fair value. Additionally, this update eliminates the requirements of any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying value to perform Step 2, but requires disclosure of the amount of goodwill allocated to a reporting unit with zero or negative carrying amount of net assets. The Company adopted this standard and there was no impact on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) . This update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments with a methodology that reflects an entity's current estimate of all expected credit losses. This update requires financial assets (including receivables and reinsurance recoverables) measured at amortized cost to be presented net of an allowance for credit losses. Additionally, this update requires credit losses on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down, allowing an entity to also record reversals of credit losses in current period net income. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Additionally, in December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. This update provides clarification on the effective and transition dates and the exclusion of operating lease receivables from Topic 326. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief . This update adds optional transition relief for entities to elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis to increase comparability of similar financial assets. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses which provides clarification on certain aspects of the guidance in ASC 326 including purchased credit-deteriorated financial assets, transition relief for troubled debt restructurings, disclosure relief for accrued interest receivables and allows a practical expedient for financial assets secured by collateral maintenance provisions. The Company adopted these standards on January 1, 2020 and did not make any opening balance sheet adjustments due to the immaterial amounts. See Note 6 regarding the impact of this adoption on the Company's consolidated financial condition and results of operations. |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Valuation of Financial Instruments Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value The carrying value and the estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments at fair value were as follows as of December 31: 2021 2020 Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Financial assets (in millions) Total investments at fair value (Note 5) $ 2,692.0 $ 2,692.0 $ 2,714.3 $ 2,714.3 Cash and cash equivalents 75.1 75.1 160.4 160.4 Restricted cash and cash equivalents 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based upon the levels of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Level inputs are defined as follows: • Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. • Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 prices that are observable for similar assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date. • Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable that reflect management's best estimate of what willing market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The Company uses third party pricing services to assist with its investment accounting function. The ultimate pricing source varies depending on the investment security and pricing service used, but investment securities valued on the basis of observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) are generally assigned values on the basis of actual transactions. Securities valued on the basis of pricing models with significant unobservable inputs or non-binding broker quotes are classified as Level 3. The Company performs quarterly analyses on the prices it receives from third parties to determine whether the prices are reasonable estimates of fair value, including confirming the fair values of these securities through observable market prices using an alternative pricing source, as it is ultimately management's responsibility to ensure that the fair values reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements are appropriate. If differences are noted in these analyses, the Company may obtain additional information from other pricing services to validate the quoted price. The Company bases all of its estimates of fair value for assets on the bid prices, when available, as they represent what a third-party market participant would be willing to pay in an arm's length transaction. For securities not actively traded, third party pricing services may use quoted market prices of similar instruments or discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating inputs that are currently observable in the markets for similar securities. Inputs that are often used in the valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, broker quotes, benchmark yields, credit spreads, default rates, and prepayment speed assumptions. There were no material adjustments to the valuation methodology utilized by third party pricing services as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. These methods of valuation only produce an estimate of fair value if there is objectively verifiable information to produce a valuation. If objectively verifiable information is not available, the Company would be required to produce an estimate of fair value using some of the same methodologies, making assumptions for market-based inputs that are unavailable. The following table presents the Company's investments at fair value and the corresponding fair value measurements.

Members are required to purchase stock in the FHLB in addition to maintaining collateral deposits that back any funds advanced. The Company's investment in FHLB stock is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value, as purchases and sales of these securities are at par value with the issuer. FHLB stock is considered a restricted security and is periodically evaluated by the Company for impairment based on the ultimate recovery of par value. The Company had investments in convertible preferred shares of real estate investment trusts which were carried at cost and approximate fair value. These preferred shares were redeemed and converted to equity securities during the year ended December 31, 2021. Financial Instruments Carried at Net Asset Value (NAV) The Company has investments in private equity limited partnership interests that are included in Other invested assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments do not have readily determinable fair values and are carried at NAV and therefore are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. The Company initially estimates the value of these investments using the transaction price. In subsequent periods, the Company measures these investments using NAV per share provided quarterly by the general partner, based on financial statements that are audited annually. These investments are generally not redeemable by the investees and cannot be sold without approval of the general partner.

The investments in private equity limited partnerships are non-redeemable until conversion and are periodically evaluated by the Company for impairment based on the ultimate recovery of the investment. Changes in the value of these investments are recorded through Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the Company's fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2021, by contractual maturity, are shown below.

Those fixed maturity securities whose total fair value was less than amortized cost at December 31, 2021, were those in which the Company had no intent, need or requirement to sell at an amount less than their amortized cost. There were no other-than-temporary impairments recognized on fixed maturity securities during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company determined that the remaining unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2019 were primarily the result of changes in prevailing interest rates and not the credit quality of the issuers. Realized gains and losses on investments include the gain or loss on a security at the time of sale compared to its original or adjusted cost (equity securities and other invested assets) or amortized cost (fixed maturity securities). Realized losses on fixed maturity securities are also recognized when securities are written down as a result of an other-than-temporary impairment or for changes in the CECL allowance. Net realized gains on investments and the change in unrealized gains (losses) on the Company's investments recorded at fair value are determined on a specific-identification basis and were as follows: Gross Realized Gains Gross Realized Losses Net Change in CECL Allowance Change in Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) Changes in Fair Value Reflected in Earnings Changes in Fair Value Reflected in AOCI, before tax (in millions) Year Ended December 31, 2021 Fixed maturity securities $ 4.7 $ (1.1) $ 0.5 $ (68.9) $ 4.1 $ (68.9) Equity securities 20.6 (5.0) — 30.0 45.6 — Other invested assets — — — 4.9 4.9 — Short-term investments — — — (0.1) — (0.1) Total investments $ 25.3 $ (6.1) $ 0.5 $ (34.1) $ 54.6 $ (69.0) Year Ended December 31, 2020 Fixed maturity securities $ 9.2 $ (4.1) $ (0.7) $ 63.0 $ 4.4 $ 63.0 Equity securities 42.6 (21.8) — (5.0) 15.8 — Other invested assets — — — (1.3) (1.3) — Short-term investments 0.1 — — 0.1 0.1 0.1 Total investments $ 51.9 $ (25.9) $ (0.7) $ 56.8 $ 19.0 $ 63.1 Year Ended December 31, 2019 Fixed maturity securities $ 5.2 $ (1.3) $ — $ 99.9 $ 3.9 $ 99.9 Equity securities 17.8 (4.4) — 33.1 46.5 — Other invested assets — — — $ 0.7 0.7 — Total investments $ 23.0 $ (5.7) $ — $ 133.7 $ 51.1 $ 99.9 Proceeds from the sales of fixed maturity securities were $206.7 million, $349.5 million and $163.0 million for years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net investment income was as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (in millions) Fixed maturity securities $ 71.5 $ 72.6 $ 81.9 Equity securities 3.7 4.4 7.9 Other invested assets 2.7 2.8 1.2 Short-term investments 0.2 1.5 — Cash equivalents and restricted cash — 0.5 1.7 Gross investment income 78.1 81.8 92.7 Investment expenses (5.4) (5.5) (4.6) Net investment income $ 72.7 $ 76.3 $ 88.1 The Company is required by various state laws and regulations to support, through securities on deposit or otherwise, its outstanding loss reserves in certain states in which it does business. These laws and regulations govern not only the amount but also the types of securities that are eligible for deposit. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, securities having a fair value of $861.4 million and $768.7 million, respectively, were on deposit. Additionally, standby letters of credit from the FHLB were in place in lieu of $70.0 million and $275.0 million of securities on deposit as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively (see Note 11). Certain reinsurance contracts require the Company's funds to be held in trust for the benefit of the ceding reinsurer to secure the outstanding liabilities assumed by the Company. The fair value of fixed maturity securities and restricted cash and cash equivalents held in trust for the benefit of ceding reinsurers at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $3.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively. |

Credit Loss [Abstract] | |
Allowance for Credit Losses | Current Expected Credit Losses The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) in the first quarter of 2020 , which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology known as the current expected loss methodology, CECL. The measurement of CECL is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes held-to-maturity securities, trade receivables, lease receivables, reinsurance recoverables, financial guarantee contracts, loan commitments, and financial assets with evidence of credit deterioration. Additionally, Topic 326 made changes to the accounting for AFS debt securities. This change requires credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on AFS debt securities that the Company does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell. Premiums Receivable Premiums receivable balances are all due within one year or less. The Company currently determines the allowance for premiums receivable based on an internal aging schedule using collectability and historical payment patterns, as well as current and expected future market conditions to determine the appropriateness of the allowance. Historical payment patterns and future market conditions provide the basis for the estimation along with similar risk characteristics and the Company's business strategy, which have not changed significantly over time. The Company will continually assess the historical payment patterns and aging schedule to reflect the differences in our current conditions and future forecasted changes, including any impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes in the allowance for CECL are recorded through underwriting and general and administrative expenses. The table below shows the changes in the allowance for CECL on premiums receivable. Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 (in millions) Beginning balance of the allowance for CECL on premiums receivable $ 10.8 $ 4.6 Current period provision for CECL 10.6 13.0 Write-offs charged against the allowance (2.5) (6.8) Recoveries collected (8.6) — Ending balance of the allowance for CECL on premiums receivable $ 10.3 $ 10.8 Reinsurance Recoverable In assessing an allowance for reinsurance assets, which includes reinsurance recoverables and contingent commission receivables, the Company considers historical information, financial strength of reinsurers, collateralization amounts and ratings to determine the appropriateness of the allowance. Historically, the Company has not experienced a credit loss from reinsurance transactions. In assessing future default, the Company evaluated the CECL allowance under the ratings-based method using the A.M. Best Average Cumulative Net Impairment Rates. Reinsurer ratings are also assessed through this process. Changes in the allowance for CECL are recorded through underwriting and general and administrative expenses. The table below shows the changes in the allowance for CECL on reinsurance recoverables. Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 (in millions) Beginning balance of the allowance for CECL on reinsurance recoverables $ 0.4 $ — Current period provision for CECL 0.2 0.4 Ending balance of the allowance for CECL on reinsurance recoverables $ 0.6 $ 0.4 Investments The Company assesses all AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position for CECL. The Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to its fair value. For AFS debt securities that do not meet either criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the allowance for CECL are recorded through realized capital losses. As of December 31, 2021, the Company established an aggregate allowance for CECL in the amount of $0.2 million. For the Company’s investments in fixed-income debt securities, the allowance for CECL was determined by: (i) observing the credit characteristics of those debt securities that may have demonstrated a credit loss as of that date and by comparing the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to its amortized cost basis; and (ii) observing the credit characteristics of those debt securities that are expected to demonstrate a credit loss in the future by comparing the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to its amortized cost basis. The expected present value of cash flows are calculated using scenario based credit loss models derived from the discounted cash flows under the Comprehensive Capital Analysis Review (CCAR) framework, which is adopted by the Federal Reserve. As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not intend to sell any of its AFS debt securities in which its amortized cost exceeded its fair value. Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities totaled $14.5 million at December 31, 2021 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses based on historically timely payments. The table below shows the changes in the allowance for CECL on AFS securities. Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 (in millions) Beginning balance of the allowance for CECL on AFS securities $ 0.7 $ — Current period provision for CECL — 3.1 Reductions in allowance from disposals (0.2) (2.4) Recoveries of amounts previously written off $ (0.3) — Ending balance of the allowance for CECL on AFS securities $ 0.2 $ 0.7 |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. The insurance subsidiaries pay premium taxes on premiums in lieu of some states' income or franchise taxes. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act significantly revised U.S. corporate income tax law by, among other things, reducing the corporate statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%, beginning January 1, 2018. This reduction in the corporate statutory income tax rate required the Company to re-evaluate certain of its deferred tax assets and liabilities, as of the date of Enactment, to reflect the revised income tax rates applicable to future periods. Despite a repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax, the Company's minimum tax credit was fully recognized in the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company's provision for income taxes consisted of the following: Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Current tax expense: (in millions) Federal $ 20.2 $ 27.6 $ 26.3 State 0.8 0.7 1.8 Total current tax expense 21.0 28.3 28.1 Deferred federal tax expense: Other 6.7 (0.4) 8.6 Total deferred federal tax expense 6.7 (0.4) 8.6 Income tax expense $ 27.7 $ 27.9 $ 36.7 The differences between the statutory federal tax rate of 21% and the Company's effective tax rate on net income before income taxes as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income were as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (in millions) Expense computed at statutory rate $ 31.0 $ 31.0 $ 40.7 Tax-advantaged investment income (1.7) (1.9) (2.4) LPT deferred gain amortization (1.9) (2.2) (2.3) Stock based compensation 0.1 (0.2) (0.9) LPT Reserve Adjustment (0.5) (0.3) (0.4) Other 0.7 1.5 2.0 Income tax expense $ 27.7 $ 27.9 $ 36.7 The LPT Reserve Adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 increased GAAP net income by $2.6 million, $1.2 million, and $1.8 million, respectively, but did not affect taxable income. The LPT Contingent Commission Adjustments increased net income by $0.5 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million during 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively, but did not increase taxable income. As of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits and its tax years 2018 through 2021 remain open and are available for examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company made cash payments of $28.2 million, $18.5 million and $37.8 million for income taxes during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The significant components of deferred income taxes, net, were as follows as of December 31: 2021 2020 Deferred Tax Deferred Tax Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities (in millions) Unrealized capital gains, net $ — $ 43.5 $ — $ 50.7 Deferred policy acquisition costs — 9.4 — 9.2 Intangible assets — 1.6 — 1.6 Loss reserve discounting for tax reporting 30.0 — 30.3 — Unearned premiums 11.9 — 11.5 — Allowance for bad debt 2.3 — 2.4 — Stock-based compensation 2.5 — 3.4 — Accrued liabilities 4.1 — 3.5 — Operating leases 3.5 3.0 4.2 3.6 Other 2.2 6.7 2.4 8.1 Total $ 56.5 $ 64.2 $ 57.7 $ 73.2 Deferred income tax asset (liability), net $ (7.7) $ (15.5) Deferred tax assets are required to be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Realization of the deferred income tax asset is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future years as the deferred income tax charges become deductible for tax reporting purposes. Although realization is not assured, management believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred income tax asset will be realized. The Company is required to discount its loss and LAE reserves for federal income tax purposes. The Company's income tax deduction associated with its loss and LAE reserves is discounted using interest rates prescribed by the U.S. Treasury, as well as established loss payment patterns. Enactment changed the prescribed interest rates to rates based on corporate bond yield curves and extends the time periods associated with loss payment patterns, which resulted in an acceleration of future income tax payments. These changes became effective for tax years beginning after 2017 and are subject to a transition rule that spreads the additional tax payment from the amount determined by applying these changes over the eight years beginning in 2018. This item is a taxable temporary difference and had no direct impact on the Company's total income tax expense for 2017 or future years. The Company has followed the guidance of Revenue Procedure 2019-31 to complete its accounting for loss reserve discounting. |

Liability for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses [Abstract] | |
Liability for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses | Liability for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses Accounting for workers' compensation insurance requires the Company to estimate the liability for the expected ultimate cost of unpaid losses and LAE (loss reserves) as of a balance sheet date. Loss reserve estimates are inherently uncertain because the ultimate amount the Company will pay for many of the claims it has incurred as of the balance sheet date will not be known for many years. The estimate of loss reserves is intended to equal the difference between the expected ultimate losses and LAE of all claims that have occurred as of a balance sheet date and amounts already paid. The Company establishes loss reserves based on its own analysis of emerging claims experience and environmental conditions in its markets and review of the results of various actuarial projections. The Company's aggregate carried reserve for unpaid losses and LAE is the sum of its reserves for each accident year and represents its best estimate of outstanding loss reserves. The amount by which estimated losses in the aggregate differ from those previously estimated for a specific time period is known as reserve "development." Reserve development is unfavorable when losses ultimately settle for more than the amount estimated or subsequent estimates indicate a basis for reserve increases on open claims, causing the previously estimated loss reserves to be ''deficient.'' Reserve development is favorable when estimates of ultimate losses indicate a decrease in established reserves, causing the previously estimated loss reserves to be ''redundant.'' Development is reflected in the Company's operating results through an adjustment to incurred losses and LAE during the period in which it is recognized. Although claims for which reserves are established may not be paid for several years or more, the Company does not discount loss reserves in its financial statements for the time value of money, in accordance with GAAP. The three main components of reserves for unpaid losses and LAE are case reserves, incurred but not reported (IBNR) loss reserves, and LAE reserves. When claims are reported, the Company establishes individual estimates of the ultimate cost of each claim (case reserves). These case reserves are continually monitored and revised in response to new information and for amounts paid. In addition to case reserves, the Company establishes a provision for IBNR. IBNR is an actuarial estimate composed of the following: (a) future payments on claims that are incurred but have not yet been reported to the Company; (b) a reserve for the additional development on claims that have been reported to the Company; and (c) a provision for additional payments on closed claims that might reopen. IBNR reserves apply to the entire body of claims arising from a specific period, rather than a specific claim. Most of the Company's IBNR reserves relate to estimated future claim payments on recorded open claims. LAE reserves are the Company's estimate of the future expense to manage, investigate, administer, and settle claims that have occurred, and include legal expenses. LAE reserves are established in the aggregate, rather than on a claim-by-claim basis. LAE reserves are categorized between defense and cost containment, and adjusting and other. A portion of the Company's obligations for losses and LAE are ceded to unaffiliated reinsurers. The amount of reinsurance that will be recoverable on losses and LAE reserves includes both the reinsurance recoverable from excess of loss reinsurance contracts, as well as reinsurance recoverable under the terms of the LPT Agreement. The Company uses actuarial methods to analyze and estimate the aggregate amount of unpaid losses and LAE. Management considers the results of various actuarial methods and their underlying assumptions, among other factors, in establishing reserves for unpaid losses and LAE. Judgment is required in the actuarial estimation of loss reserves, including the selection of various actuarial methodologies to project the ultimate cost of claims. Specifically, judgment is required in the following areas: the selection of parameters utilized in the various methodologies; the use of industry data and other benchmarks; and the weighting of differing reserve indications resulting from alternative methods and assumptions. The Company's Internal Actuary prepares reserve estimates for all accident years using our own historical claims data, industry data and many of the generally accepted actuarial methodologies for estimating loss reserves, such as paid loss development methods, incurred loss development methods, and Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods. These methods vary in their responsiveness to different information, characteristics, and dynamics in the data, and the results assist the actuary in considering these characteristics and dynamics in the historical data. The methods employed for each segment of claims data, and the relative weight accorded to each method, vary depending on the nature of the claims segment and on the age of the claims. Each actuarial methodology requires the selection and application of various parameters and assumptions. The key parameters and assumptions include the future payment and emergence patterns of our aggregate claims data; the magnitude and changes in claim settlement activity; the effects of legislative benefit changes and/or judicial decisions; and trends in the frequency and severity of claims. The following table represents a reconciliation of changes in the liability for unpaid losses and LAE. Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (in millions) Unpaid losses and LAE at beginning of period $ 2,069.4 $ 2,192.8 $ 2,207.9 Less reinsurance recoverable, excluding CECL allowance, on unpaid losses and LAE 497.0 532.5 504.4 Net unpaid losses and LAE at beginning of period 1,572.4 1,660.3 1,703.5 Losses and LAE, net of reinsurance, incurred during the period related to: Current year 366.5 395.9 456.1 Prior years (39.8) (81.6) (77.5) Total net losses and LAE incurred during the period 326.7 314.3 378.6 Paid losses and LAE, net of reinsurance, related to: Current year 76.6 83.6 106.6 Prior years 318.2 318.6 315.2 Total net paid losses and LAE during the period 394.8 402.2 421.8 Ending unpaid losses and LAE, net of reinsurance 1,504.3 1,572.4 1,660.3 Reinsurance recoverable, excluding CECL allowance, on unpaid losses and LAE 476.9 497.0 532.5 Unpaid losses and LAE at end of period $ 1,981.2 $ 2,069.4 $ 2,192.8 Total net losses and LAE included in the above table excludes the impact of the amortization of the Deferred Gain and LPT Reserve Adjustments (See Note 10). In 2021, the Company had $39.8 million of net favorable prior accident year loss reserve development, which included $38.0 million of favorable development on its voluntary risk business and $1.8 million on its assigned risk business. In 2020, the Company had $81.6 million of net favorable prior accident year loss reserve development, which included $80.2 million of favorable development on its voluntary risk business and $1.4 million on its assigned risk business. In 2019, the Company had $77.5 million of net favorable prior accident year loss reserve development. The net favorable development recognized in 2021 on voluntary business was primarily the result of observed favorable paid loss cost trends predominantly related to accident years 2017 and prior, due primarily to decreasing medical costs and defense and cost containment, partially offset by: (i) $10.0 million of unfavorable development related to accident year 2019, which is reflective of more weight being placed on now sufficiently seasoned loss trends and patterns originating in part from business written in our newer territories; and (ii) $8.0 million of unfavorable loss development associated with two catastrophic non-COVID claims in accident year 2020. The net favorable development recognized in 2020 on voluntary business was primarily the result of observed favorable paid loss cost trends predominantly related to accident years 2018 and prior, due primarily to decreasing medical costs, partially offset by $13.3 million of adverse development on accident year 2019 partially due to an inability to fully execute its claims initiatives to reduce loss costs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The net favorable development recognized in 2019 was primarily the result of observed favorable paid loss cost trends predominantly related to accident years 2018 and prior, due primarily to decreasing medical costs and accelerated claims settlements. Loss reserves shown in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets are net of $105.6 million and $28.1 million for anticipated subrogation recoveries as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company compiles and aggregates its claims data by grouping the claims according to the year in which the claim occurred ("accident year") when analyzing claim payment and emergence patterns and trends over time. Reported claims include any claim that has case reserves and/or loss and LAE payments associated with them. The Company analyzed the usefulness of disaggregation of its results and determined the characteristics associated with the policies and the related unpaid loss reserves, incurred losses, and payment patterns are similar in nature. As such, the following tables show the Company's historical incurred and cumulative paid losses and LAE development, net of reinsurance, as well as IBNR loss reserves and the number of reported claims on an aggregated basis as of December 31, 2021 for each of the previous 10 accident years.

Reinsurance [Abstract] | |
Reinsurance | Reinsurance The Company purchases reinsurance from third parties in the normal course of its business in order to manage its exposures. The Company's reinsurance coverage is provided on both a quota share and excess of loss basis. The effects of reinsurance on the Company's written and earned premiums and on its losses and LAE incurred were as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Written Earned Written Earned Written Earned (in millions) Direct premiums $ 582.6 $ 574.0 $ 570.8 $ 611.0 $ 687.4 $ 691.6 Assumed premiums 7.1 7.0 9.3 9.5 9.5 9.6 Gross premiums 589.7 581.0 580.1 620.5 696.9 701.2 Ceded premiums (6.6) (6.6) (5.2) (5.2) (5.4) (5.4) Net premiums $ 583.1 $ 574.4 $ 574.9 $ 615.3 $ 691.5 $ 695.8 Ceded losses and LAE incurred $ 16.8 $ 5.9 $ 19.2 Ceded losses and LAE incurred includes the amortization of the Deferred Gain, LPT Reserve Adjustments, and LPT Contingent Commission Adjustments. Excess of Loss Reinsurance The Company has consistently maintained excess of loss reinsurance coverage to protect it against the impact of large and/or catastrophic losses in its workers' compensation business. The Company currently maintains reinsurance for losses from a single occurrence or catastrophic event in excess of $10.0 million and up to $200.0 million, subject to certain exclusions. This current reinsurance program is effective July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. The coverage under the Company's annual reinsurance program that ended each of July 1, 2020 and 2019 was $190.0 million, in excess of its $10.0 million retention on a per occurrence basis. The reinsurance coverage includes coverage for pandemics, acts of terrorism, excluding nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological events. Any liability outside the coverage limits of the reinsurance program is retained by the Company. LPT Agreement Recoverables from reinsurers on unpaid losses and LAE amounted to $476.3 million and $496.6 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. At each of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $328.7 million and $353.5 million, respectively, of those recoverables was related to the LPT Agreement that was entered into in 1999 by the Fund and assumed by EICN. Under the LPT Agreement, substantially all of the Fund's losses and LAE on claims incurred prior to July 1, 1995 have been ceded to three unaffiliated reinsurers on a 100% quota share basis. Investments totaling $432.5 million and $369.1 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, have been placed in trust by the three reinsurers as security for payment of the reinsured claims. Under the LPT Agreement, initially $1.5 billion in liabilities for the incurred but unpaid losses and LAE related to claims incurred prior to July 1, 1995, were reinsured for consideration of $775.0 million. The LPT Agreement provides coverage up to $2.0 billion. Through December 31, 2021, the Company has paid losses and LAE claims totaling $838.8 million related to the LPT Agreement. The Company amortized $8.4 million, $10.5 million, and $10.7 million of the Deferred Gain for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Additionally, the Company recognized favorable development in the estimated reserves ceded under the LPT Agreement of $4.9 million, $4.2 million, and $5.3 million that reduced the Deferred Gain by $2.6 million, $1.2 million, and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively, due to favorable LPT Reserve Adjustments and by $0.5 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively, due to favorable LPT Contingent Commission Adjustments (Note 2 –Reinsurance). |

Notes Payable [Abstract] | |
Notes Payable | FHLB Advances, Notes Payable and Other Financing Arrangements On December 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Credit Agreement provides for a $75.0 million three-year revolving credit facility and is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries (Employers Group, Inc. and Cerity Group, Inc.). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company also has an option to request an increase of the credit available under the facility up to a maximum facility amount of $125.0 million, subject to the consent of lenders and the satisfaction of certain conditions. The interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Agreement are generally based on a base rate plus a specified margin, ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%, or the Eurodollar rate (which will convert to an alternative reference rate once LIBOR is discontinued), plus a specified margin, ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%. In addition, the Company will pay a fee on each lender’s commitment, ranging from 0.20% to 0.50%, irrespective of usage. The applicable margin and the amount of such commitment fee vary based upon the financial strength rating of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries as most recently announced by A.M. Best or the Company’s debt to total capitalization ratio if such financial strength rating is not available. Total interest paid during the year ended December 31, 2021 was $0.3 million. The Credit Agreement contains covenants that require the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to maintain: (i) a minimum consolidated net worth of no less than 70% of the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2020, plus 50% of the Company’s aggregate net income thereafter; and (ii) a debt to total capitalization ratio of no more than 35%, in each case as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. The Company incurred $0.7 million in debt issuance costs in connection with the Credit Agreement, which are being amortized over the three-year life of the facility in Interest and Financing expenses. The annual commitment and administrative fee on the unused portion of the facility is 0.30%, for a maximum of $225,000, and an annual agency fee of $25,000. Advances can be repaid at any time without prepayment penalties or additional fees. The Company borrowed and subsequently repaid $27.0 million under the credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the credit facility. EPIC had a $10.0 million surplus note to Dekania CDO II, Ltd. issued as part of a pooled transaction. On April 12, 2019, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation approved EPIC's request to pay off the Dekania surplus note. Subsequently, on April 15, 2019, EPIC formally called this note. The outstanding principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest, in the amount of $10.2 million, was paid on May 14, 2019. Interest paid during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $0.2 million. EPIC had a $10.0 million surplus note to Alesco Preferred Funding V, LTD issued as part of a pooled transaction. On April 12, 2019, the Florida Office of Insurance regulation approved EPIC's request to pay off the Alesco surplus note. Subsequently, on May 6, 2019, EPIC formally called this note. The outstanding principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest, in the amount of $10.2 million, was paid on June 13, 2019. Interest paid during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $0.2 million. Other financing arrangements are comprised of the following: EICN, ECIC, EPIC, and EAC are members of the FHLB. Membership allows the insurance subsidiaries access to collateralized advances, which may be used to support and enhance liquidity management. The amount of advances that may be taken is dependent on statutory admitted assets on a per company basis. During the second quarter of 2020, the FHLB announced its Zero Interest Recovery Advance Program (the FHLB Advance Program). The FHLB Advance Program is a zero percent interest, six-month or one-year credit product that members can use to provide immediate relief to property owners, businesses, and other customers from the COVID-19 pandemic. Each member was allocated up to $10.0 million in advances under the FHLB Advance Program. On May 11, 2020, the Company's insurance subsidiaries received a total of $35.0 million of advances under the FHLB Advance Program. The advances were secured by collateral previously pledged to the FHLB by the Company's insurance subsidiaries in support of their existing collateralized advance facility, which has been reduced by the amount of these outstanding advances. The Company repaid $15.0 million on November 4, 2020, $5.0 million on March 31, 2021, and the remaining $15.0 million on May 4, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has no outstanding advances. FHLB membership also allows the Company's insurance subsidiaries access to standby letters of credit. On March 9, 2018, ECIC, EPIC, and EAC entered into standby Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreements (Letter of Credit Agreements) with the FHLB. On January 26, 2021, we chose to amend our existing Letter of Credit Agreements among the FHLB and EPIC to decrease its respective credit amount. On August 13, 2021, we chose to amend our existing Letter of Credit Agreements among the FHLB, ECIC and EAC to decrease their respective credit amounts. The amended Letter of Credit Agreements are between the FHLB and each of EAC, in the amount of $25.0 million, ECIC, in the amount of $35.0 million, and EPIC, in the amount of $10.0 million. The amended Letter of Credit Agreements will expire March 31, 2022, and will remain evergreen with automatic one-year extensions unless the FHLB notifies the beneficiary at least 60 days prior to the then applicable expiration date of its election not to renew. The Letter of Credit Agreements may only be used to satisfy, in whole or in part, insurance deposit requirements with the State of California and are fully secured with eligible collateral at all times. The Letter of Credit Agreements are subject to annual maintenance charges and a fee of 15 basis points on issued amounts. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 letters of credit totaling $70.0 million and $275.0 million were issued in lieu of securities on deposit with the State of California under these Letter of Credit Agreements, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, investment securities having a fair value of $261.0 million and $385.6 million, respectively, were pledged to the FHLB by the Company's insurance subsidiaries in support of the collateralized advance facility and the Letter of Credit Agreements. |

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure | Commitments and Contingencies Leases At December 31, 2021, the Company's operating leases have remaining terms of 1 year to 7 years, with options to extend up to 10 years with no termination provision. The Company's finance leases have an option to terminate after 1 year. As a result of the effectiveness of our work-from-home transition, in 2021 and 2020 we reduced our real estate footprint by closing and vacating certain of our offices. Whereas we believe that our existing office space is adequate for our current needs, we will continue to evaluate our office needs and may further reduce our real estate footprint in the future. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded charges of $0.8 million related to the abandonment of certain operating leases, which is recognized in Other expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Components of lease expense were as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 (in millions) Operating lease expense $ 4.1 $ 5.1 Finance lease expense 0.2 0.2 Total lease expense $ 4.3 $ 5.3 As of December 31, 2021, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was 5.3 years and for finance leases was 3.8 years. The weighted average discount rate was 2.2% and 7.7% for operating and finance leases, respectively. Maturities of lease liabilities were as follows: Year Operating Leases Finance Leases (in millions) 2022 $ 3.3 $ 0.1 2023 3.3 0.2 2024 3.2 0.1 2025 3.1 0.1 2026 2.8 — Thereafter 1.9 — Total lease payments 17.6 0.5 Less: imputed interest (1.0) — Total $ 16.6 $ 0.5 Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows: As of December 31, 2021 2020 (in millions) Operating leases: Operating lease right-of-use asset $ 14.2 17.4 Operating lease liability 16.6 19.9 Finance leases: Property and equipment, gross 0.8 0.8 Accumulated depreciation (0.3) (0.4) Property and equipment, net 0.5 0.4 Other liabilities $ 0.5 $ 0.4 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 (in millions) Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows used for operating leases $ 4.1 5.1 Financing cash flows used for finance leases 0.1 0.2 Contingencies Surrounding Insurance Assessments Each of the states where the Company's insurance subsidiaries are licensed to transact business require property and casualty insurers that write business within the respective state to pay various insurance assessments. The Company accrues a liability for estimated insurance assessments as direct premiums are written, losses are recorded, or as other events occur, depending on the relevant laws and regulations of a particular state. The Company defers such costs to the extent they are associated with unearned premium and recognizes them as an expense as such premiums are earned. The Company had an accrued liability for guaranty fund assessments, second injury funds assessments, and other insurance assessments totaling $10.1 million and $18.4 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These liabilities are generally expected to be paid over periods from less than one year to, in some instances, the duration of the outstanding claims, based on individual state's laws and regulations. The Company also recorded an asset of $19.9 million and $18.7 million, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for remitted, estimated policy charges anticipated to be recouped from policyholders. This asset also includes state assessments that may be recovered through a reduction in future premium taxes. These assets are expected to be realized over one to ten year periods in accordance with their type and each individual state's laws and regulations. Unfunded Investment Commitments As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had unfunded commitments to invest $46.4 million and $63.8 million, respectively, into private equity limited partnerships.

The 2021 Program replaces the 2018 Program, which expired on June 30, 2021. The 2021 Program provides that shares may be purchased at prevailing market prices through a variety of methods, including open market or private transactions, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and as determined by management. The timing and actual number of shares that may be repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the share price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and economic conditions. Repurchases under the 2021 Program may be commenced, modified, or suspended from time-to-time without prior notice, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Through December 31, 2021, the Company has repurchased a total of 550,964 shares of common stock at an average price of $40.17 per share, including commissions, for a total of $22.1 million under the 2021 Program.

Stautory Matters [Abstract] | |
Statutory Financial Data Disclosure | Statutory Matters Statutory Financial Data The combined capital stock, surplus, and net income of the Company's insurance subsidiaries (EICN, ECIC, EPIC, EAC, and CIC), prepared in accordance with the statutory accounting practices (SAP) of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) as well as SAP permitted by the states of California, Florida, Nevada, and New York were as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 (in millions) Capital stock and unassigned surplus $ 726.0 $ 683.1 Paid in capital 363.2 363.2 Total statutory surplus $ 1,089.2 $ 1,046.3 Net income provided from the Company's insurance subsidiaries prepared in accordance with SAP was $94.9 million, $140.4 million, and $129.3 million, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Treatment of the LPT Agreement, deferred policy acquisition costs, fair value of financial instruments, and the surplus notes (see Notes 4, 10, and 11) are the primary differences in the SAP-basis capital stock and total surplus of the insurance subsidiaries of $1,089.2 million and $1,046.3 million, and the GAAP-basis equity of the Company of $1,213.1 million and $1,212.8 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Under SAP accounting, the retroactive reinsurance gain resulting from the LPT Agreement is recorded as a special component of surplus (special surplus funds) in the initial year of the contract, and not reported as unassigned surplus until the Company has recovered amounts in excess of the original consideration paid. The special surplus funds are also reduced by the amount of extraordinary dividends as approved by the Nevada Division of Insurance. Under SAP, the surplus notes are recorded as a separate component of surplus. Under SAP, changes to the estimated contingent profit commission under the LPT Agreement are reflected in commission expense in the period that the estimate is revised. Insurance Company Dividends and Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions The ability of EHI to pay dividends on the Company's common stock and to pay other expenses will be dependent to a significant extent upon the ability of the Nevada domiciled insurance company, EICN, the California domiciled insurance company, ECIC, the Florida domiciled insurance companies, EPIC and EAC, to pay dividends to their immediate holding company, Employers Group, Inc. (EGI) and the New York domiciled insurance company, CIC, to pay dividends to its immediate holding company Cerity Group, Inc. (CGI), and in turn, the ability of EGI and CGI to pay dividends to EHI. The amount of dividends each of the Company's insurance subsidiaries may pay to their immediate parent is limited by the laws of its respective state of domicile. Nevada law limits the payment of cash dividends by EICN to its parent by providing that payments cannot be made except from available and accumulated surplus, otherwise unrestricted (unassigned), and derived from realized net operating profits and realized and unrealized capital gains. A stock dividend may be paid out of any available surplus. A cash or stock dividend prohibited by these restrictions may only be declared and distributed as an extraordinary dividend upon the prior approval of the Nevada Commissioner of Insurance (Nevada Commissioner). EICN may not pay such an extraordinary dividend or make an extraordinary distribution until the Nevada Commissioner either approves or does not disapprove the payment within 30 days after receiving notice of its declaration. An extraordinary dividend or distribution is defined by statute to include any dividend or distribution of cash or property whose fair market value, together with that of other dividends or distributions made within the preceding 12 months, exceeds the lesser of: (a) 10% of EICN's statutory surplus as regards to policyholders at the next preceding December 31; or (b) EICN's statutory net income, not including realized capital gains, for the 12-month period ending at the next preceding December 31. As of December 31, 2021, EICN had positive unassigned surplus of $247.6 million. During 2021, EICN paid an ordinary dividend in the amount of $12.5 million to its parent company, EGI. As a result of that payment, EICN cannot pay any dividends through March 22, 2022, and can pay $9.7 million of dividends thereafter, without regulatory approval. Under Florida law, without regulatory approval, EPIC and EAC may pay dividends if they do not exceed the greater of: the lesser of 10% of surplus or net income, not including realized capital gains, plus a 2-year carry forward; 10% of surplus, with dividends payable limited to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains; or, the lesser of 10% of surplus or net investment income plus a 3-year carry forward with dividends payable limited to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains. During 2021, EAC paid an ordinary dividend in the amount of $21.1 million to its parent company, EGI. As a result of that payment, EAC cannot pay any dividends through June 30, 2022 and $23.2 million thereafter, without regulatory approval from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (FOIR), provided that no dividends are paid prior to June 30, 2022. During 2021, EPIC paid an ordinary dividend in the amount of $22.9 million to its parent company, EGI. As a result of that payment, EPIC cannot pay any dividends through June 18, 2022 and can pay $24.0 million of dividends thereafter, without regulatory approval from the FOIR. EPIC and EAC are subject to regulation by the Florida Department of Financial Services (FDFS). Florida statute Section 624.408 requires EPIC and EAC to maintain minimum capital and surplus of the greater of $4.0 million or 10% of total liabilities. Florida statutes require EPIC and EAC to maintain a ratio of written premiums, defined as 1.25 times written premiums, to surplus of no greater than 10-to-1 for gross written premiums and 4-to-1 for net written premiums. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, EPIC and EAC were in compliance with these statutes. ECIC is subject to regulation by the California Department of Insurance (California DOI). Additionally, the California Insurance Holding Company System Regulatory Act limits the ability of ECIC to pay dividends to its parent. California law provides that, absent prior approval of the California Insurance Commissioner, dividends may only be declared from earned surplus. For purpose of this statute, earned surplus excludes amounts derived from net appreciation in the value of assets not yet realized, or derived from an exchange of assets, unless the assets received are currently realizable in cash. In addition, California law provides that the appropriate insurance regulatory authorities in the state of California must approve (or, within a 30-day notice period, not disapprove) any dividend that, together with all other such dividends paid during the preceding 12 months, exceeds the greater of: (a) 10% of the paying company's statutory surplus as regards to policyholders at the preceding December 31; or (b) 100% of net income for the preceding year. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, ECIC was in compliance with these requirements. During 2021, ECIC paid an ordinary dividend in the amount of $32.1 million to its parent company, EGI. On January 14, 2022, ECIC received regulatory approval from the California DOI to pay an extraordinary distribution, in the amount of $120.0 million, to its parent company, EGI. This distribution was approved by ECIC’s Board of Directors on November 12, 2021 and it was paid to EGI on February 15, 2022. As a result of this distribution, ECIC cannot pay dividends through February 15, 2023, without regulatory approval. Under New York law, without regulatory approval, CIC may pay dividends if they do not exceed the lesser of 10% of surplus or 100% of net investment income for the previous year increased by the excess, if any, of net investment income over dividends declared or distributed during the period commencing 36 months prior to the declaration or distribution of the current dividend and ending 12 months prior thereto. The New York state law also provides that any distribution may only be paid out of earned surplus. During 2021, CIC paid an ordinary dividend in the amount of $3.0 million to its parent company, CSI. As a result of that payment, CIC cannot pay any dividends through August 30, 2022, and can pay $2.7 million of dividends thereafter, without regulatory approval. Additionally, EICN, ECIC, EPIC, EAC, and CIC are required to comply with RBC requirements. RBC is a method of measuring the amount of capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations in light of its size and risk profile. NAIC RBC standards are used by regulators to determine appropriate regulatory actions relating to insurers that show signs of weak or deteriorating conditions. As of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, EICN, ECIC, EPIC, EAC, and CIC each had total adjusted capital above all regulatory action levels. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Common ShareBasic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilutive impact of all common stock equivalents on earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share includes common shares assumed issued under the "treasury stock method," which reflects the potential dilution that would occur if outstanding RSUs and PSUs vested, and stock options were to be exercised. RSUs and PSUs are entitled to receive dividend equivalents when and if, the underlying award vests and becomes payable. Therefore, these awards are not considered participating securities for the purposes of determining earnings per share. The following table presents the net income and the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the earnings per common share calculations. Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (in millions, except share data) Net income $ 119.3 $ 119.8 $ 157.1 Weighted average number of shares outstanding–basic 28,289,118 29,912,063 32,120,578 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 27,033 36,568 77,482 PSUs 237,999 230,831 285,550 RSUs 46,843 25,402 56,108 Dilutive potential shares 311,875 292,801 419,140 Weighted average number of shares outstanding–diluted 28,600,993 30,204,864 32,539,718 Diluted earnings per share excludes outstanding options and other common stock equivalents in periods where the inclusion of such options and common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | Segment Reporting The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments: Employers and Cerity. Each of these segments represents a separate and distinct underwriting platform through which the Company conducts insurance business. The nature and composition of each reportable segment and its Corporate and Other activities are as follows: The Employers segment represents the traditional business offered through the EMPLOYERS brand name through its agents, including business originated from the Company's strategic partnerships and alliances. The Cerity segment represents the business offered under the Cerity brand name, which includes the Company's direct-to-customer business. Corporate and Other activities consist of those holding company expenses that are not considered to be underwriting in nature, the financial impact of the LPT agreement, and legacy business assumed and ceded by CIC. These expenses are not considered to be part of a reportable segment and are not otherwise allocated to a reportable segment. The Company has determined that it is not practicable to report identifiable assets by segment since certain assets are used interchangeably among the segments. The following table summarizes the Company's written premiums and components of net income before income taxes by reportable segment.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all liquid investments with maturities of less than three months, as measured from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. | |
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy | Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Restricted cash and cash equivalents represent cash and cash equivalents held in trust in order to secure certain of the Company's obligations and, accordingly, are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company held $3.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively, in cash and investments in trust for reinsurance obligations, of which $0.2 million, represented restricted cash and cash equivalents for each year. | |
Investments, Policy | Short-Term Investments The Company considers all liquid investments with maturities of between three and twelve months, as measured from the date of purchase, to be short-term investments. Investment Securities The Company's investments in fixed maturity securities and short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale (AFS) and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of deferred taxes, in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's investments in equity securities at fair value are not classified as AFS and changes in fair value are included in Net realized and unrealized gains on investments on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The Company's investment in FHLB stock is presented within Equity securities at cost on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's investments in other invested assets are reported at either net asset value or fair value and changes in the value of these investments are included in Net realized and unrealized gains on investments on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Beginning in 2020, with the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) , the Company's investments in fixed maturity securities are presented net of an allowance for current expected credit losses (CECL). The Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to its fair value. For AFS debt securities that do not meet either criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. The changes in the Company's allowance for CECL on investments are included in Net realized and unrealized gains on investments on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (see Note 6). Prior to adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) , the determination of an other-than-temporary decline for fixed maturity securities and other invested assets included, in addition to other relevant factors, a presumption that if the market value was below cost by a significant amount for a period of time, a bifurcation of the write-down may be necessary based on the portion of the loss that was deemed to be a "credit loss", which was considered a realized loss, and the portion that was deemed to be an "other than credit loss", which was considered to be an unrealized loss. If management had the intent to sell the security or more likely than not would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the investment was written down to its fair value and the entire impairment was recorded as a realized loss in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. If management did not have the intent to sell or would not be required to sell the security but did not expect to recover the amortized cost or cost basis of the security, the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment was bifurcated (see Note 5). Investment income consists primarily of interest and dividends generated by investment securities. Interest is recorded as earned on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded as earned at the ex-dividend date. Interest income on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities is determined using the effective-yield method based on estimated principal repayments. Mortgage-backed securities are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discount or amortization of premium of such securities using the retrospective method. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on a specific-identification basis. | |
Revenue Recognition, Policy | Revenue Recognition Premiums written are recognized as revenues, net of any applicable underlying reinsurance coverage, and recognized as earned, over the period of the contract in proportion to the amount of insurance protection provided. At the end of the policy term, payroll-based premium audits are performed on substantially all policyholder accounts to determine the actual amount of net premiums earned for that policy year. Earned but unbilled premiums include estimated future audit premiums based on the Company's historical experience. These estimates are subject to changes in policyholders' payrolls, economic conditions, and seasonality, and are continually reviewed and adjusted as experience develops or new information becomes known. Any such adjustments are included in current operations; however, they are partially offset by the resulting changes in losses and LAE, commission expenses, and premium taxes. The Company's premiums receivable on its Consolidated Balance Sheets included $13.8 million and $2.3 million of additional premiums expected to be received from policyholders for premium audits at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company establishes an allowance for CECL (see Note 6) on its premiums receivable through a charge included in underwriting and general and administrative expenses in its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. This allowance for CECL is determined based on estimates (collectability and historical payment patterns) and assumptions to project future experience. After all collection efforts have been exhausted, the Company reduces the allowance for CECL for write-offs of premiums receivable that have been deemed uncollectible. The Company's allowance for CECL was $10.3 million and $10.8 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had write offs of $2.5 million, $6.8 million, and $10.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. | |
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, Policy | Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs Policy acquisition costs, those costs that relate directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts, including underwriting, policy issuance and processing, medical and inspection, sales force contract selling and commissions are deferred and amortized as the related premiums are earned. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, was $92.2 million, $97.5 million, and $107.7 million, respectively. If the sum of a policy's expected losses and LAE and deferred policy acquisition costs exceeds the related unearned premiums and projected investment income, a premium deficiency is determined to exist. In this event, deferred policy acquisition costs are immediately expensed to the extent necessary to eliminate the premium deficiency. If the premium deficiency exceeds deferred acquisition costs, a liability is accrued for the excess deficiency. There were no premium deficiency adjustments recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. | |
Unpaid Loss and LAE Reserves, Policy | Unpaid Loss and LAE Reserves Unpaid loss and LAE reserves represent management's best estimate of the ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported losses incurred for the applicable periods, less payments made. The estimated reserves for losses and LAE include the accumulation of estimates for all claims reported prior to the balance sheet date, estimates of claims incurred but not reported, and estimates of expenses for investigating and adjusting all incurred and unadjusted claims (based on projections of relevant historical data). Amounts reported are subject to the impact of future changes in economic, regulatory and social conditions. Management believes that, subject to the inherent variability in any such estimate, the reserves are within a reasonable and acceptable range of adequacy. Estimates for claims prior to the balance sheet date are continually monitored and reviewed, and as settlements are made or reserves adjusted, the differences are reported in current operations. Salvage and subrogation recoveries are estimated based on a review of the level of historical salvage and subrogation recoveries. | |
Reinsurance, Policy | Reinsurance In the ordinary course of business, the Company purchases excess of loss reinsurance in order to protect it against the impact of large and/or catastrophic losses. Additionally, the Company is a party to the LPT Agreement (see Note 10). These reinsurance arrangements reduce the Company's exposure to such losses since its reinsurers are liable to the Company to the extent of the reinsurance protection provided. However, the Company remains liable for all losses it incurs to the extent that any reinsurer is unable or unwilling to make timely payments under its reinsurance agreements. Balances due from reinsurers on unpaid losses, including an estimate of such recoverables related to reserves for incurred but not reported losses, are reported as reinsurance recoverables on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Reinsurance recoverables on paid losses represent amounts currently due from reinsurers. Reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses represent amounts that will be collectible from reinsurers once the losses are paid. Reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses and LAE amounted to $476.3 million and $496.6 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Beginning in 2020, with the adoption of ASU 2016-13 , the Company's reinsurance recoverables are presented net of an allowance for CECL. The changes in the Company's allowance for CECL are included in underwriting and general and administrative expenses on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (see Note 6). This allowance for CECL is determined based on historical information, financial strength of reinsurers, collateralization amounts and ratings to determine the appropriateness of the allowance. Ceded reinsurance premiums are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the underlying premiums, and are reported as reductions to arrive at net premiums written and earned. Ceded losses and LAE are also accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the relevant reinsurance agreement, and are recorded as reductions to losses and LAE incurred. Pursuant to the LPT Agreement, LAE is deemed to be 7% of total losses paid and is payable to the Company as compensation for management of the claims under the LPT Agreement. The Deferred Gain is amortized using the recovery method, whereby the amortization is determined by the proportion of actual reinsurance recoveries to total estimated recoveries through the life of the LPT Agreement, and is recorded in losses and LAE incurred in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Any adjustment to the estimated loss and LAE reserves ceded under the LPT Agreement results in a cumulative adjustment to the Deferred Gain, which is also recognized in losses and LAE incurred in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, such that the Deferred Gain reflects the balance that would have existed had the revised reserves been recognized at the inception of the LPT Agreement (LPT Reserve Adjustment). Additionally, the Company is entitled to receive a contingent profit commission under the LPT Agreement. The contingent profit commission is equal to 30% of the favorable difference between actual paid losses and LAE and expected paid losses and LAE as established in the LPT Agreement based on losses paid through June 30, 2024. The contingent profit commission is paid every five years beginning June 30, 2004 for the first 25 years of the agreement. The Company could be required to return any previously received contingent profit commission, plus interest, in the event of unfavorable differences through June 30, 2024. The Company records an estimate of contingent profit commission on its Consolidated Balance Sheets as Contingent commission receivable–LPT Agreement and a corresponding liability is recorded as Deferred reinsurance gain–LPT Agreement. The Contingent commission receivable–LPT Agreement is reduced as amounts are received from participating reinsurers. In 2019, the Company received $19.1 million in cash related to the contingent profit commission. The Deferred reinsurance gain–LPT Agreement is amortized using the recovery method. The amortization of the contingent profit commission is determined by the proportion of actual reinsurance recoveries to total estimated recoveries over the life of the contingent profit commission (through June 30, 2024), and is recorded in losses and LAE incurred in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Any adjustment to the contingent profit commission under the LPT Agreement results in a cumulative adjustment to the Deferred Gain, which is also recognized in losses and LAE incurred in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, such that the Deferred Gain reflects the balance that would have existed had the revised contingent profit commission been recognized at the inception of the LPT Agreement (LPT Contingent Commission Adjustment). | |
Property, and Equipment, Policy | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (see Note 7). Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations as incurred. Electronic data processing equipment, software, furniture and equipment, and automobiles are depreciated using the straight-line method over three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are also carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes leasehold improvements using the straight-line method over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the remaining original lease term, excluding options or renewal periods. Leasehold improvements are generally amortized over three to eight years. | |
Cloud Computing Arrangements, Policy | Cloud Computing Arrangements The Company capitalizes software license fees and implementation costs associated with hosting arrangements that are service contracts. These amounts are included in Cloud computing arrangements on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of the software license fees is calculated using the straight-line method over the term of the service contract or based on the expected utilization of the asset. Amortization of the implementation costs are calculated using the straight-line method based on the term of the service contract and commence once the module or component is ready for its intended use, | |
Lessee, Leases, Policy | Operating leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the transaction. Leased office property meets the definition of operating leases under ASC 842 and is presented as a right-of-use asset (ROU asset) and lease liability on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease payments arising from the lease transaction. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses collateralized incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of lease payments. The ROU assets also include lease payments less any lease incentives within a lease agreement. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate a lease. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company elected the practical expedients in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements and ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , allowing it to apply provisions of the guidance at the date of adoption without adjusting comparative periods presented (see Note 12). Finance Leases Leased property and equipment meeting finance lease criteria are capitalized at the lower of the present value of the related lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. Financing leases for automobiles are included in property and equipment in other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method based on the term of the lease and is included in the depreciation expense of property and equipment. See Note 12 for additional disclosures related to finance leases. | |
Income Taxes, Policy | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the Company's financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. As of December 22, 2017, the date that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted (Enactment), the effect of the change in tax rates on the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities was recognized in income and created stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income that did not reflect the newly enacted tax rate. The Company reclassified the net tax effects from Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, to Retained earnings as of the date of Enactment. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes , on the basis of a two-step process. Recognition (Step 1) occurs when the Company concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (Step 2) is addressed only if Step 1 has been satisfied. Under Step 2, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets when it determines that such assets are more likely than not to be realized in future periods. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, tax-planning strategies, projected future taxable income, projected future tax rates, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that it could realize its deferred tax assets in future periods, it would establish a deferred tax asset valuation allowance that would increase the Company's provision for income taxes. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. | |
Credit Risk, Policy | Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash equivalents), short-term investments, investment securities, premiums receivable, and reinsurance recoverable balances. The Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments include investments in money market securities and securities backed by the U.S. government. The Company's investment securities are diversified throughout many industries and geographic regions and include investments in U.S. government and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. The Company believes that it has no significant concentrations of credit risk from a single issue or issuer within its cash equivalents, short-term investments and investment securities other than concentrations in U.S. government and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. The Company's premiums receivable are generally diversified due to the large number of entities composing the Company's policyholder base and their dispersion across many different industries. The Company monitors the financial condition of its reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The Company also obtains collateral from its reinsurers in order to mitigate the risks related to insolvencies. At December 31, 2021, $1.8 million was held as collateral by cash or letters of credit for the Company's reinsurance recoverables and an additional $432.5 million was in trust accounts for reinsurance recoverables specifically related to the LPT Agreement. | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair values of the Company's financial instruments have been determined using available market information and other appropriate valuation methodologies. Judgment is required in developing fair value estimates where quoted market prices are not available. Accordingly, these estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or estimating methodologies may have an effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, premiums receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and other liabilities. The carrying amounts for each of these financial instruments as reported in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values. Investment securities. The Company's investment securities are predominantly valued on the basis of actual market transactions or observable inputs. A small portion of the Company's investment securities are valued on the basis of pricing models with significant unobservable inputs or nonbinding broker quotes. See Note 4. | |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Policy | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company formally tests for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the fourth quarter of each year. At the end of each quarter, management considers the results of the previous analysis as well as any recent developments that may constitute triggering events requiring the impairment analysis of goodwill and other intangible assets to be updated. The Company assessed the effects of current economic conditions on the Company's financial condition and results of operations and changes in the Company's fair value and determined that there were no impairments of these assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Intangible assets related to state licenses are not subject to amortization. Intangibles related to insurance relationships were amortized in proportion to the expected period of benefit and were fully amortized as of December 31, 2021. The gross carrying value, accumulated amortization, and net carrying value for the Company's intangible assets, by major class, as of December 31, were as follows: 2021 2020 Gross Accumulated Net Gross Accumulated Net (in millions) State licenses $ 13.5 $ — $ 13.5 $ 13.5 $ — $ 13.5 Insurance relationships 9.4 $ (9.4) — 9.4 $ (9.4) — Other 0.1 — 0.1 0.1 — 0.1 Total $ 23.0 $ (9.4) $ 13.6 $ 23.0 $ (9.4) $ 13.6 There was no amortization expense in 2021 or 2020. These amortization expenses are included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income in underwriting and general and administrative expenses. | |
Stock-based Compensation, Policy | Stock-Based Compensation The Company provides stock-based compensation to its directors and certain of its employees, which is recognized in its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income based on estimated grant date fair values over the relevant service period (see Note 14). |
