Workers' Compensation is regulated by each state, and
the rules regarding this business obligation can vary
significantly. Most states utilize a system where most
employers purchase private insurance to meet this
statutory obligation, but some states maintain a
state-run fund that competes with private insurance. A
few states require employers to use only their state
fund and do not allow private insurance. For the details
on each state, check our State by State directory.
If your company purchases Workers' Compensation
insurance, your premium is calculated according to a
certain format. Some of the fine details of that format
can vary from state to state, but there is also a
considerable degree of uniformity from state to state
regarding how premiums are calculated.
We've included on our website a number of pages
containing information about the details of that general
format:
