Workers Compensation
As a business owner, you do everything you can to protect your employees from potential dangers, but do you have workers compensation protection?
Most business owners understand that workers compensation is important, but did you know that if you have employees, it is required by law for most businesses to have coverage?
​
​Workers compensation is a type of insurance coverage that protects your employees in case of injury or disease during the course of employment.
Policies can provide coverage for:
-
Medical expenses
-
Lost income/wages
-
Rehabilitation costs
-
Death benefits
-
And more…
​
For anyone who is classified as an employee, it is required by law to provide them with workers compensation coverage. Employers/owners can opt out of coverage. Termination of an employee who is injured while working and/or who files a workers compensation claim is also illegal. As a rule, a company with five or more employees is mandated to purchase workers compensation insurance to cover medical expenses, permanent disability, and a portion of the injured employee’s wages.
