It is common to spend most of your adult life working at home, in an office, or job site. But unfortunately, there are injuries in every type of job, no matter where an employee works.
Troy businesses thrive when there is a safe, secure work environment where employees can do their best work and help the organization grow. Unfortunately, despite the best of intentions, accidents, and illnesses still occur.
Workers' Compensation Insurance for Small Businesses
Workers' compensation insurance protects both your workers and your Troy business.
Your business could be financially crippled if you suffer a serious workplace injury. It is well known that many small and medium-sized companies cannot afford to pay medical bills out of their own pocket, whether it is due to injuries, illnesses, or ongoing care.
As a result of purchasing this policy, you can be assured that you will be protected against medical expenses and litigation resulting from workplace injuries.
How Much is Workers Compensation?
Because coverage requirements vary by state, Workers' Compensation insurance cost depends on where your business operates. Other factors that affect your rates include:
- The number of employees you have.
- The type of work your employees do.
- Your claims history.
- Your industry.
Like all insurance, Michigan workers' comp is priced based on risk. Riskier industries and jobs are more expensive to insure than less risky ones. To ensure prices are as fair as possible, they're determined by classification codes. Each type of work or industry has a unique code that classifies the industry and risk and helps the insurance carrier determine a reasonable rate.
One way to save money on your workers' comp policy is to classify every employee correctly. So, for example, the secretary for a construction firm will have lower rates than the bricklayers.
