Workers' comp that keeps your crew and your business protected

Massachusetts requires workers' compensation for almost every employer, even with one part-time employee. It pays medical bills and lost wages when an employee is hurt on the job.

What a workers' comp policy can include

  • Medical expenses

    Pays for treatment of work-related injuries and illnesses.

  • Lost wages

    Replaces part of an injured employee's income while they recover.

  • Employer's liability

    Protects you if an employee claims your negligence caused their injury.

Coverage varies by carrier and policy. We'll walk you through exactly what yours includes.

Getting the classifications right

Workers’ comp pricing depends on assigning each employee to the right class code. We review your payroll and job duties so you aren’t overcharged, and help you prepare for your year-end audit.

Workers' Comp insurance questions

Do I need workers' comp with only one employee?

In Massachusetts, yes. Almost all employers must carry it, including those with part-time employees. Sole proprietors without employees may be exempt.

How is the premium calculated?

Mostly by payroll and the classification codes for the work your employees do. An audit at the end of the policy year adjusts for actual payroll.

What if I hire subcontractors?

You may be responsible for uninsured subcontractors. Collect their certificates of insurance. We'll explain how this affects your audit.
