Frequently
Asked Questions
How can I save (more) money on my workers' compensation
policy?
You can save money on your workers’ compensation policy by having a Safety
Program, a Drug-Free Workplace Program, a deductible, an FCCPAP credit,
lower Experience Modification Factor, correct classification of
employees…and Workers’ Compensation Group will help you with all of these
options.
Can I pay for my policy without a deposit?
Yes…there are payment plans that ask for nothing down (except the
state expense constant) and others that only ask for the first month’s
installment, not to be held as a deposit.
Are
there any policies that allow me to pay in a fraction of the annual
premium?
Yes…retrospective rating plans allow you to pay in a percentage of your
premium during the year. If you have claims, you pay in additional
premium, but no more than you would on a regular plan. If you do not
have claims…you do not owe any more money. The percentage can be as
low as 30%!
Can a
Workers’ Compensation Policy Cost Less Than Employee Leasing Workers’
Compensation Coverage?
Yes, in MANY ways…
-
employee leasing
coverage does not offer the standard credits you can get with
traditional workers’ compensation policies.
-
employee leasing
arrangements charge you administrative fees on gross payroll, you
pay workers’ compensation on the premium part of overtime – an actual
increase in the premium based for workers’ compensation.
-
you are subject to
the leasing company’s experience modification factor while you are with
them AND after you leave.
-
improper coding of
employees by non-licensed sales people often results in higher rated
codes, etc...
