How much does Workers’ Compensation Insurance cost?
As with any other types of insurance, there are many different factors to consider when calculating workers’ compensation policies. These factors can include the total number of employees, the type of business operations you conduct, and the total annual payroll of your business.
An good example of how different businesses can have wildly different workers’ compensation policies: a construction company with workers working in dangerous conditions, working around chemicals, or frequently operating heavy machinery would have a greater chance of an accident than an architectural office. The construction company would have a higher workers’ compensation premium. In addition, some larger employers will be affected by their prior claims experience with premium credits for low claim experience and increased premiums for those with more claims.
Workers’ Comp insurance is purchased as a separate policy. Although business owners policies (BOPs) are sold as package policies, they do not include coverage for workers’ injuries.
