Byrne-Kim Associates Insurance Services
Workers Compensation Insurance, is required by regulation in most states when you have W2 employees. In
some states the requirement may include that you cover your 1099 contractors, in this case should you use a
contractor or sub-contractor you must require that they provide you with a certificate of work comp insurance,
naming you as a certificate holder.  If the contractor or sub does not carry any work comp coverage you could be
responsible for their coverage at the expiration of the policy when the audit is conducted.

If you do find yourself in this situation, although you may have to pay for contractors you can talk to a Byrne - Kim
professional and discuss possible ways of getting the charges reduced.

  • Workers' Compensation Insurance is designed to protect your employees should an injury occur during
    the course of employment. All states require all employers to carry Workers' Compensation coverage, but
    each state have their own individual laws that must be met to satisfy the requirements.

  • Employers who have one or more employees are subject to the provisions of their states Disability
    Benefits Law. Coverage usually consists of medical care, temporary disability benefits, permanent
    disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation services, and death benefits.

  • Workers' Compensation premium calculation is based upon how employees are classified according to
    their specific work duties and the rate assigned to each corresponding employee classification. Most
    states use the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) for this work, but a few states have
    their own rating bureau.  California uses the Workers Compensation Information Rating Bureau
    (WCIRB), which is an independent company separate from the NCCI.

  • NCCI is a private corporation, created and funded by member insurance companies. It is approved by the
states, but it is not connected with government in any way.

California, Delaware, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin on the other hand, have their own government-run rating bureaus that
are separate from
NCCI.

  • Rating - Workers' compensation insurers assign a specific rate to each occupational classification code,
