The Professionals at Morse Excel in Workers’ Compensation Insurance in Taunton MA
Business owners in Taunton MA have at least one thing in common with every other business in Massachusetts: You are all required to have workers’ compensation plans. Whether you’ve just started your business or have been a business owner for decades, understanding the details about this necessary coverage is extremely important.
Upon first glance, it may seem like workers’ compensation policies are merely a way for the local government to protect workers who experience a workplace injury. However, from our perspective as both insurance professionals and local business owners, this coverage is meant to protect you, the employer, as well.
When you choose to work with Morse, you can be certain that you’ll be receiving workers’ compensation insurance in Taunton MA that will meet all MA requirements, offer the best protections for both you and your staff, and will save you money.
Our team focuses primarily on the following offerings:
Workers’ Compensation Insurance in Taunton MA
All businesses in Massachusetts are required to have workers’ compensation coverage for all employees.
This requirement is applicable…
- Regardless of the number of hours worked by the employee
- For domestic service employees who work at least 16 hours a week
- To cover you, the business owner, if you are considered an employee of the business (exceptions may exist for Sole Proprietors, Limited Liability Corporations and Executive Officers)
- To your family member(s) even if they are the only employees
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 certain corporate officers – you should still consider purchasing workers’ compensation insurance in Taunton MA for yourself. Our team at Morse can explain in detail some of the key factors behind why you may want to consider this including:
For Taunton MA business owners who are not exempt, 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 violates the mandate.
If an employer does not have a workers’ compensation policy in place but continues to operate, they will receive a Stop Work Order from the DIA Office of Investigations and can be assessed minimum fines of $100 per day starting immediately. Fines accumulate each day until insurance coverage becomes effective, and the fine must be paid in full for your business to restart operations. While this all sounds very ominous, Morse, of course, likes to take a half glass full point of view instead. This type of coverage can actually be beneficial because it is designed to protect you and your business from being required to pay large amounts of money to cover an employee’s medical expenses related to a workplace injury or illness. Instead of being required to pay the balance by yourself, a workers’ compensation policy from Morse Insurance cover:
- Medical Expenses
- Permanent Disability
- Partial Wages
- Death Benefit to Beneficiary
…and also protect you and your company from litigation pertaining to the accident.
A large number of workplace injuries and illnesses occur every year, so as a business owner, you need to be confident that your workers’ comp program meets all State requirements. Morse is proud to be the Massachusetts expert on workers’ compensation insurance and is here to help ensure that you have the best protection for both you and your employees.
