...'cause they can get hurt
Ouch! Accidents are inevitable. In the event of a hazardous situation, having an extra layer of protection is key. Janitorial workers’ compensation insurance can cover medical expenses and lost wages during recovery if someone gets hurt on the job.
Workers' comp insurance covers both the employer and the injured worker. Like all types of insurance, it acts as a safety net in case of an accident.
If a worker gets hurt on the job, the insurance company will help cover the costs associated with their care so the worker is well taken care of until they return to work.
Since the company had a workers comp policy, they do not need to pay anything towards the bills.
The National Council of Compensation Insurance (NCCI) sets a fixed rate for every industry.
The rate is based on the level of risk for that job description.
Premiums are primarily calculated by using your payroll numbers and your NCCI class code.
