Is Workers’ Compensation Insurance right for you?

  • Businesses hiring their first employee

    Requirements differ by state, so find out what yours expects before your first employee’s start date.

  • Contractors and field crews

    Insurers price on payroll and the type of work, so field duties need to be classified apart from office work.

  • Companies with remote or multi-state teams

    Each state sets its own rules and insurance options, from private insurers to state funds, so your program has to account for every state where people work.

  • Businesses that use contractors, part-timers or interns

    Whether a contractor, part-timer or intern belongs on the policy is a question to ask in each state, not something to settle from a job title.

  • Texas employers

    Most private employers in Texas can choose whether to carry coverage, and that choice changes your employees’ benefits and your exposure to lawsuits.

When to get Workers’ Compensation Insurance

  • 01

    Your first employee has a start date

    Find out what your state requires before that day, and get the policy bound before the first paycheck rather than after it.

  • 02

    A remote hire lives in a state you haven’t covered

    A remote hire can bring a different state’s rules and insurers into your program. Add the state and its payroll before anyone gets hurt there.

  • 03

    Your team took on a different kind of work

    Moving staff from the office into a warehouse, a job site or a delivery route can change how the work is classified. Update the payroll split so the quote reflects it.

  • 04

    Your policy is about to renew on last year’s payroll

    Headcount, payroll and job duties rarely stay still for a year. Send the new figures and compare the market instead of renewing on an outdated description.

  • 05

    You’re relying more on contractors

    Ask how each state where they work treats contractors, part-time staff and interns before you assume someone falls outside the policy.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance questions

Also known as workers’ comp insurance, workman’s comp insurance, workmen’s compensation insurance, work comp insurance and employer’s liability insurance.

Is workers’ compensation required everywhere?

No single rule applies across the country; requirements differ by state. Most private employers in Texas can choose whether to carry it, while California requires it through insurance or qualifying self-insurance. Spot asks what each state where you have employees requires.

What does workers’ compensation pay for?

It can pay medical care, rehabilitation and lost wages when an employee is hurt or falls ill because of work. Benefit details vary by state, so Spot asks how each quote handles medical care, wage replacement, disability and death benefits. Most policies also include employer’s liability for an employee’s lawsuit over a work injury.

Why do two workers’ comp quotes differ so much?

Insurers price on payroll and the type of work, so a different classification for the same job can move the premium. Spot puts each proposal’s classifications and payroll side by side so you can see where the gap comes from.

Does workers’ compensation cover a customer who slips in our office?

No. Workers’ compensation is for your employees’ work-related injuries. An injured visitor is a general liability question, and everyday medical care for staff belongs to employee health benefits.

Can our current broker still place our workers’ compensation?

Yes. Spot prepares the payroll and classification details and works alongside your broker, taking no commissions on premiums, or helps you move to one with more workers’ compensation markets in your states.
