Workers’ Compensation Coverage
Workers’ compensation insurance provides benefits to employees and their families for work-related injuries or illnesses.
What is workers’ compensation coverage?
Workers’ compensation insurance, (sometimes called workman's comp), provides benefits to employees and their families for work-related injuries or illnesses. This can cover medical care, wages from not working, funeral costs, and more. If a worker's family decides to sue the company, it can also help cover any legal fees.
How much is workers’ compensation coverage?
The cost of coverage varies by state, the provider, your claims history, and other factors. However, the cost of this insurance is typically calculated based on the rate charged per $100 of your payroll.
Do you need workers’ compensation coverage?
State laws require business owners to have this coverage when you hire your first employee. If you are not covered when an employee files a claim, you could owe fines and other penalties.
