High Risk Workers’ Comp
What is High Risk Workers’ Compensation Insurance?
Any business that has employees runs the risk of an employee injury on the job. Which is why, regardless of industry, every business with employees is required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Workers’ comp coverage is designed to cover an employee’s medical expenses in the event they are injured on the job. In some situations, workers’ comp will also cover lost wages in the event an employee is injured or ill. Workers’ comp works in favor of both the employer and the employee. It provides liability coverage for the employer while simultaneously providing medical coverage for the employee. However, every business should ensure that they carry the right level of workers’ comp coverage to avoid potential liability, over, or underpayment issues.
Workers’ Compensation Classification
Classification coding system to categorize employees
The National Council on Compensation Insurance uses a classification coding system to categorize employees. Currently, there are about 800 different class codes in use. These class codes set a base rate that allows insurance agents to properly price their policies. If a business is mis-classified, that business could end up paying too much in coverage or owing money after an audit.
