What does workman's comp cost employer?

Answer 1

To find out an average rate for workers' compensation insurance, each classification is translated into a dollar amount. This is then multiplied by 1 percent per $100 of the total payroll for that employee. For example, the office clerk classification is roughly $1.25 per $100. If that employee is paid $500 per week, the workers' compensation insurance for that employee will cost around $6.25 per week.

Answer 2

It works just like any other insurance--the employer pays a premium based on the danger level and the number of employees, more danger or more employees means higher premiums. When the HR department receives the paperwork (incident report etc.) it is faxed to the insurance company and they work everything out from there with the employee. So for the employer--just pay the premiums and the rest is taken care of...

MAJOR difference: an injured worker who receives WC benefits can NEVER sue the employer for a penny more, even if employer negligence is obvious. WC is the only money she can ever get for the injury; the "exclusive remedy".
