What does it do?
Workers' compensation is a form of insurance providing wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment in exchange for mandatory relinquishment of the employee's right to sue their employer for the tort of negligence.
It also covers services needed to help an employee recover and return to work. ​
Workers' Compensation Insurance can pay for three things when an employee is injured at work:
-
Medical bills
-
Recovery costs
-
Partially missed wages
If an employee dies, Workers' Comp can cover funeral costs and benefits to the worker's family. Depending on state laws and contract requirements, you may need this policy to cover employees, contractors, freelancers, or even yourself.
