Workers Compensation Insurance – a must have.

Workers Compensation Insurance is a legislated, compulsory insurance. It protects employers from financial costs when a worker sustains a work-related injury or disease and pays for any medical, rehabilitation, and loss of income for your staff.

What is Workers’ Compensation?

Employers must provide workers’ compensation for anyone they employ that the legislation defines as a ‘worker’. This includes: full-time workers on a wage or salary | part-time, casual and seasonal workers | workers on commission | piece workers | working directors | contractors and sub-contractors (in some circumstances) | family members (in some circumstances).
