∙ 15y agoYou might if you're on a retrospective rating plan, yet these are very complex and can tie up your financial resources for years - YEARS. Enter into them only if you're fully informed on all the pros & cons. If you're a small firm, I really feel it's not in your best interest to be on a retrospective rating plan. Instead, consider deductibles and other ways to save premium going forward. For example, if you had no claims in 1 year, do you know why? Have you been proactive in preventing claims? Do you have a safety program and a "no accidents" incentive program to reward employees for paying attention to safety? The reward system doesn't have to be cash - it could be something like having a Pizza day or if you're in an office environment, letting employees wear jeans 1 day a week as long as you're accident free.

Workers compensation is an insurance. Your employer pays a premium during each billing period (monthly, quarterly, annually, however frequently) for coverage. This works just like any other insurance business: the insurance company will pay for covered claims. Claims may cause the insurance company to raise premiums if they feel the business has become more of a risk.
There should not be a balance on any worker's compensation claims. There is a specific fee schedule that must be followed.
The number of accepted workers compensation claims varies greatly state to state, country to country. In the US state of Washington, over 124,000 workers compensation claims were accepted, amounting to over 500 million dollars in 2010.

Insurance costs depend on several factors, such as location, size of company, payroll &/or cost of subcontractors and claims history. The owner and manager's experience, kind of work performed, years in business also matter. It also depends on the amount of coverage, endorsements, deductibles and the overall claims history of that class of business with the chosen insurance company. Contact a couple of agents in your area and ask them to give you a quote based on your particular case. If your employer doesn't carry Workers' Compensation, they may not realize that they remain liable even if they are exempt from being required to carry insurance.
