CALIFORNIA REQUIREMENTS
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.
