Shielding Your Crew with Work Comp Insurance

Every employee who joins a company is entitled to various small business insurance packages, with work compensation insurance being one of them. You might say that nothing will happen to your people on your watch but it still pays to be sure and to learn the intricacies of work comp insurance.

Under California labor laws, companies are required to have worker compensation insurance prepared even there’s only one employee in the pool. The same thing will apply to out-of-state companies whose California operations are in the hands of one employee. Some experts claim that sole owners may not opt for worker compensation, but must take out a policy in the event they are about to hire an employee.
When consulting a preferred small business insurance agent, be sure you share with him certain details on your organization. These may include the business’ membership in trade bodies, industry classification, and history of work-related injuries. When the insurance policy is in place, be sure to prepare info guides for the employees and a notice on the bulletin board; both will outline policy mechanics for the rank-and-file. Remember, however, that when paying for your employees’ premiums, you will have to shoulder it from company funds.

A well-organized work comp insurance policy will make all the difference for your employees. They will be at their best form when they are taken care of.
