Planning tips for this checklist
Class codes drive the quote
Payroll, job duties, state locations, class codes, owner status, and subcontractor certificates should be organized before comparing workers compensation options.
Plan for audits
Workers compensation policies often reconcile against actual payroll, so payroll reports, job changes, certificates, and audit notices need a clean record trail.
Make injury reporting clear
Supervisors need claim contacts, incident steps, medical provider rules, return-to-work notes, and wage record instructions before an injury happens.
