Workers’ Compensation Insurance in Raynham MA
When you have something very important to say, sometimes it bears repeating. So, here we go again: All Massachusetts businesses, like yours, are required to have workers’ compensation coverage for their employees.
This requirement is applicable:
- Regardless of the number of hours worked by the employee
- For employees in domestic service who work at least 16 hours per week
- To cover you, the business owner, if you are considered an employee of the business (exceptions for Executive Officers, LLCs, and Sole Proprietors)
- To members of your family even if they are the only employees of your company
There are very few exceptions to these requirements, and it is far more likely that you fall into the non-exempt category of businesses. However, even if you are one of the exceptions – for example a sole proprietor or LLC owner – you should still consider getting workers’ compensation insurance in Raynham MA for yourself. Our team at Morse would be happy to walk you through some of the key factors behind why you may want to consider this including:
For the rest of us business owners in Raynham MA, we have a legal obligation to our employees to have a workers’ compensation policy in place, and the law will not support a company that goes against the mandate.
If an employer does not have a workers’ compensation policy in place but continues to operate, they will be issued a Stop Work Order from the DIA Office of Investigations and can be assessed minimum fines of $100 per day starting immediately. Fines will accumulate until insurance coverage takes effect, and the business will be prohibited from resuming operations until all fines have been paid. While this all sounds very ominous, Morse, of course, likes to take a half glass full mindset instead. This important type of coverage is designed to protect you and your business from having to cover an employee’s medical costs in the case that they become ill or experience a workplace injury. Instead of being required to pay the amount owed by yourself, a workers’ compensation plan from Morse Insurance will kick in and cover:
- Medical Expenses
- Permanent Disability
- Partial Wages
- Death Benefit to Beneficiary
…and also safeguard you and your company from litigation pertaining to the accident.
A large number of workplace accidents and illnesses occur year after year, so as a business owner, it is important that your workers’ comp program meets all local requirements. The Morse team excels at finding the right workers’ compensation coverage to take care of businesses and their employees all across Southeastern Massachusetts.
