Mandatory Workers' Compensation Insurance

This is often a mandatory type of insurance that provides your employees with benefits that help them recover from time missed at work due to a work-related injury or illness. If an employee loses their life at work, this insurance can also provide the employee’s family with a benefit.

Different factors can affect the cost of these insurance rates including job risk, state of employment, claims history of the business and payroll size. Each state has their own specific requirements, so it is important to work with an broker like BIS Benefits who understands Georgia businesses and their coverage options. Failing to have the correct coverage can lead to costly fines or uninsured claims that could put your business at risk of bankruptcy.
