Workers Compensation Insurance with Integrated Payroll


Workers' compensation insurance covers injuries and occupational diseases picked up at work. Fault doesn't matter; employers are liable even if the employee may have contributed to the injury or illness. It's required in every state except Texas, and specifics vary from state to state.

Workers' comp can cover all these areas:
 Injuries or loss of limbs
 Diseases like emphysema or repetitive motion
 Injury inflicted at work
 Medical treatment
 Rehabilitation needed so workers can return to work
 Lost wages (up to two-thirds of the employee's salary)
 Death
 Liability insurance for the company for lawsuits filed by injured employees

Not every employer needs workers' comp.  Many states give the employer the option to self-insure, that is, to cover the costs flowing from on-the-job injuries themselves. Whether this is a good idea depends on the business you're in and the financial state of your company.

Let's say you do need workers' comp, and you don't choose to self-insure. How much coverage do you need per employee, and how much will it cost? What you'll pay depends on the kind of business you're in-there are about 700 "occupational codes" used by insurers, each carrying a different premium. (These codes are developed by the National Council on Compensation Insurance Inc.) Premiums are calculated for each $100 of payroll.

Like other types of insurance, there are better and worse deals available. Once you've established a good history with few claims, you may qualify for a "preferred" rate instead of a "standard" one. Some businesses are unfortunate enough to pay above-standard rates if the insurer sees them as risks.

Whether or not your business needs workers' comp insurance now, it's good to know what to expect when your profits and size grow to a point where you do.

The most frequent types of claims alleged under such policies include:
Wrongful Termination
Discrimination
Failure to promote
Sexual harassment
Disability Access

WHY DO WE NEED IT?
