Workers Compensation Insurance
Workers' compensation is a
mandatory type of business
insurance that provides employees
who become injured or ill while
on the job with medical coverage
and income replacement. It
also protects companies from
being sued by employees for
the workplace conditions that
caused such an injury or illness.
Workers'
comp coverage provides four
types of benefits (medical
care, death, disability, rehabilitation)
for employee job-related injuries
or diseases as a matter of
right (without regard to fault).
This insurance is usually purchased
by the employer from an insurance
company or insured through
Self Insured Groups (SIG’s).
The premium rate is based on
a percentage of the employer's
payroll and varies according
to the employee's occupation.

Alternative risk plans come in three basic forms: self-insurance groups, captives, and self-insured. Self Insurance is usually chosen by the largest firms usually paying working compensation premiums of upwards of $1 million or more. It requires the posting of a surety bond and other financial disclosures.
Self Insurance Groups (SIG’s) and Captives are available for small and mid-sized companies. They occur when employers join together to share some level of risk and use their group buying power to purchase cost effective insurance, fronting, and critical risk management services, including claim management typically provided by a third party administrator.
