Let's Talk about Workers' Compensation Insurance : Do you need it?

Workers’ compensation insurance

Workers’ compensation and payroll go hand-in-hand. Although it falls outside of the payroll process, having a workers’ comp policy is mandated by nearly every state in order to protect employees who get hurt on the job.

Overview

When an employee gets injured at work, they can file a workers’ compensation claim. In return, they (generally) aren’t allowed to sue their employer for any negligence that might have caused the injury.

In nearly all states, a workers’ compensation policy is the only remedy available for accidental workplace injuries. That means that as long as clients pay their premiums, they’re protected from a big out-of-pocket payment if an employee gets injured on the job.

Most states have laws that dictate how much employees should be paid out and what type of benefits they should receive. Usually workers’ comp covers around two-thirds of an employee’s wage, but it can also cover things like medical care, retraining costs, and survivor benefits.

Requirements

If you have employees that aren’t owners of the company, they are likely required to buy workers’ compensation coverage. The only state that doesn’t require workers’ comp insurance is Texas.

To make sure your clients stay compliant, check state laws to be clear about their workers’ compensation requirements.

Costs

Employers pay for workers’ comp insurance and if an employee files a claim, the insurance company pays out the benefits.

Like any type of insurance, the cost really depends on your client’s business, industry, and the type of work that their employees perform. However, the average cost of workers’ comp insurance is around 1.4% of a person’s total compensation.

Insurance Types

There are three major types of workers’ compensation insurance policies to be aware of:

● Traditional insurance: this works the same as most insurance policies, in that clients pay a regular premium

● “Pay as you go” insurance: the premium is calculated based on the amount paid in each payroll period and is only available if the policy is integrated with a payroll provider

● State fund: insurance is purchased through a state-governed insurance provider

While most states allow employers to buy private insurance, five states and two US territories require insurance to be purchased exclusively through state-operated funds. Those states and territories are: Ohio, Wyoming, Washington, North Dakota, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
