Paychex and the right workers’ compensation coverage

Workers’ compensation insurance

Paychex and the right workers’ compensation coverage can bring stability to your cash flow

Workers’ compensation insurance traditionally covers the medical expenses and lost wages of an employee injured on the job.

Almost every state in the United States requires employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. So it’s not just a matter of finding the right policy for your business but also how you’ll manage it in a way that minimizes the potential impact on your cash flow. We can help you do just that.

Paychex Insurance Agency offers workers’ compensation insurance plans from A-rated national carriers, while our integrated Workers’ Compensation Payment Service* gives you smarter, more cost-effective ways to manage your policy and improve your cash flow.

Many businesses are required to have workers’ compensation coverage

All businesses with employees need workers’ compensation coverage, and policies are mandatory in almost every state. Recent statistics on workplace injuries make it easy to understand just how important a workers’ compensation policy will be when you need it.

  • 2.8% of workers suffered a job-related injury in 2018.**
  • More than half of the recorded injuries required reassignment or time away from work.
  • Overexertion is the most common type of on-the-job injury, followed closely by slips and falls.
  • Injured workers missed work for an average of nine days
