Workers Comp/Short Term Disability
Workers’ Compensation
All states require all employers to carry Workers’ Compensation/Employer’s Liability insurance and each state has individual laws that must be met. Workers Compensation protects your employees should a job related injury or sickness occur during the course of employment. Payments are made to the injured party and can consist of medical payments, loss of wages or therapy. Premiums are based upon occupations, classifications, payroll, experience, and State modifications. Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability are mandatory.
