6 things you need to do if an employee has a workplace injury

No employer wants to see an employee get hurt on the job. You don’t want to see your employees in pain, and workplace injuries often have long-lasting effects on any business. But accidents are inevitable, and eventually you may find yourself dealing with a workplace injury or illness. This is why workers’ compensation insurance is a vital part of any business’s insurance plan. If you do ever have a workplace accident, there are six things you absolutely have to do.

Are your temporary workers covered by your business’s insurance?

by Katelyn Betts | in Business Insurance
Are your temporary workers covered by your business’s insurance?

Sometimes there just aren’t enough bodies around to get all the work done that needs to get done. If you find yourself shorthanded, you might be considering taking on some temporary workers from a staffing agency. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement – the employee gets some work, you get an extra set of hands to help out, and you save yourself the trouble of having to go through the hiring process to find someone.

But the problem is that since your temporary workers are only temporary, they might not be covered by workers’ compensation insurance. So what would happen if they, say, fell off a ladder? Fell down a flight of stairs? Slipped on a wet tile floor in the break room? The point is that it would be hard to know who’s responsible for covering the medical bills, or the legal costs if they decide to sue.

Anyways, the point is that you need to make sure that you completely understand the relationship between the worker in question and the staffing agency. How the staffing agency classifies them (as a W2 employee or a 1099 worker) affects how they are – or are not – covered by workers’ comp or general liability insurance.

So. With that lead-in behind us, let’s jump in.

Why your business needs a return to work program (and how to make one)

by Katelyn Betts | in Business Insurance
Why your business needs a return to work program (and how to make one)

As an employer, one of your worst nightmares might be one of your employees getting hurt on the job. Your employees have families to support. If they’re injured, they’re out of work for as long as it takes them to heal. They might have a bit of a chip on their shoulder towards your company, too, if they got hurt while doing work to benefit your business.

Workers’ compensation insurance claims and employee injuries are also very costly. Getting the employee back to good health is, of course, the priority, but the costs of doing so can be very high for your business. However, there’s a way that you can help your employees and your business if someone gets hurt while working. You can create a return to work program.

How to know if your workers’ comp claim is compensable

by Katelyn Betts | in Business Insurance, Insurance
How to know if your workers’ comp claim is compensable

Workers’ compensation insurance can be a real lifesaver for a business if an employee gets hurt or becomes ill because of their job. It’s a way to protect them and make sure that they’re provided for if something happens to them on the job. Safety should always be a priority at the workplace – along with helping you and your employees avoid injuries, this will help you lower your workers’ comp premiums as an added bonus.

Anyways, if something happens on the job, you may not necessarily be to blame for the accident or injury, but you were the one requiring the employee to be there. Thus, workers’ comp insurance is there to take care of your responsibility to the employee. If you’re in the position of handling a workers’ comp claim and you’re not sure if it’s going to “count” as a claim, keep in mind that there are a few criteria to be met for a claim to be compensable. (Compensable basically means that the employee is eligible to receive workers’ comp benefits because of their injury.)

So, what are these magic criteria, you may ask?

We’ve broken the requirements into three questions below to help you figure out where your workers’ comp incident stands.
