What Is Workers’ Compensation?

Workers’ compensation is a type of insurance that states require all businesses with employees to have. As soon as you hire employee #1, you need workers’ comp.

Workers’ compensation insurance is an insurance policy that you get through private insurance companies. The policy will cover employees’ medical expenses and lost income in the case of injury on the job.

This is important for your business to have because employees can’t sue your business if you have insurance coverage. Bear in mind that you have to have the right policy with the right amount of coverage.

There are industries that are seen as high-risk, which will require special coverage.

The first step in the claims process is that you have to know that there’s an injury on the job. An employee needs to report the incident as soon as it happens.

The longer they wait to report the incident, the harder it is to prove that the injury occurred on the job. It’s imperative to train employees hat all incidents need to be reported, not just for workers’ compensation, but to spot opportunities to improve safety standards at your business

Advise Employees of Their Options

You or your HR manager will have to explain to the employee what their options are. There will be paperwork to fill out that has the details of the incident.

You can also advise them that they can and should see a workers’ comp doctor that will assess their injuries and the ability to return to work.

You’ll have to submit your claim to the insurance company for approval. There are many cases where workers’ comp claims are denied.

Your insurance company will have an appeals process. It will be between you and your employee to navigate that process. At that point, an employee may decide to work with an attorney to get the insurance company to pay.

Understanding the Workers’ Comp Claims Process

Workers’ compensation is a must for all businesses with employees. You don’t want to be left in a position where an employee can sue your business if they get hurt on the job.
