When Does a California Business Need Workers' Comp Insurance?

For most California employers, Workers' Compensation enters the business plan the moment the first employee is hired. That can include contractors, retail shops, offices, and home-service companies across California.

Workers' Comp helps an employee reach care after a covered workplace injury or illness and may provide partial wage replacement during recovery. It also gives the employer a defined process for handling the claim.

Before hiring, prepare payroll estimates, job duties, and work locations. Review the current California requirements with a licensed insurance professional and visit the California Workers' Comp insurance page.
