Workers’ Compensation

Required in most states once you have employees. Covers medical bills, lost wages, and rehabilitation after workplace injuries or illnesses.

Why Workers’ Comp matters

Beyond legal requirements, Workers’ Comp protects your team and your business from the costs of workplace injuries. It reduces litigation and supports faster return‑to‑work.

What’s covered

  • Medical expenses from work‑related injuries or illnesses
  • Wage replacement (temporary/partial disability)
  • Rehabilitation and follow‑up care
  • Benefits for permanent disability or death

What’s not covered

  • Injuries outside the course and scope of work
  • Fraud or willful safety violations
  • Amounts beyond state schedules
  • Undeclared workers (watch for audits)

Who must carry it?

  • Most employers once you reach 1–3 employees (varies by state)
  • Higher‑risk industries: construction, manufacturing, logistics
  • Startups and professional services with employees
  • Some contractors/sole proprietors depending on state/contracts

Cost factors

  • Class codes (NCCI/state) and payroll
  • Experience modification factor (MOD/X‑Mod)
  • Safety programs and training
  • State rules, audits, and adjustments

Compliance tip

Prepare for annual audits by keeping accurate payroll records, class codes, and subcontractor certificates.
