Workers Comp Is More Than a Required Policy
Many businesses think of workers compensation as a simple compliance requirement. In reality, it can have a major impact on your total insurance cost, hiring strategy, safety program, and ability to bid on certain contracts. Payroll, employee duties, classification codes, claims history, and experience modification rates can all affect pricing.
Employee Injury Protection
Workers compensation may help pay for medical costs, lost wages, and related benefits when an employee is injured in the course of employment, subject to policy terms and state requirements.
Employer Liability
Most workers compensation policies also include employer liability coverage, which may respond to certain employee injury claims not fully handled by statutory benefits.
Contract Requirements
Many customers, general contractors, landlords, and vendors require proof of workers compensation before work begins or before a contract is approved.
Common Workers Comp Issues for Manufacturers
Manufacturing businesses often have more complex workers compensation exposures than a typical office-based company. A good review should look beyond payroll and focus on how the business actually operates.
- Incorrect classification codes that may cause overcharging or audit problems
- Multiple employee duties across production, delivery, sales, and clerical roles
- Machine operation, cutting, welding, fabrication, assembly, and material handling exposures
- Payroll changes that create surprise premium audits
- Claims history affecting the experience modification rate
- Use of temporary workers, subcontractors, or leased employees
- Multi-state operations or employees working outside Utah
What We Review
The goal is not just to find a workers compensation policy. The goal is to make sure the policy fits the business, the payroll is handled correctly, and the pricing makes sense based on the actual risk.
Class Codes
We review employee duties and operations to help identify whether the workers compensation class codes appear to match the work being performed.
Payroll Estimates
We help think through payroll projections so the business is not underestimating payroll and getting hit with avoidable audit surprises.
Claims and Mod Review
We look at claims history and experience modification factors to understand what may be driving cost and where improvement opportunities may exist.
