Comprehensive Guide to Workers’ Compensation in Calabasas
Employers are required under federal law to obtain workers’ compensation insurance which covers injured employees and the cost for employers. In general, workers’ compensation covers wage replacement, medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and other losses an employee may go through after an accident.
Under the insurance requirement employers are grouped into classes that determine rates for each class varying depending on the number of employees and the type of business. For example a company with 900 employees may have a higher policy than a small business with only nine employees. It’s also important to note that high risk jobs may require a larger policy than office work or remote positions.
Regardless of the size of a company, a workers’ compensation plan should cover employees if they get injured at work. However, some employees may not qualify for benefits in some cases.
