Workers' Compensation Insurance FAQs
Q Is workers' compensation required?
A
Yes, in most states. Requirements vary—some require it with 1 employee, others with 3-5. Even in Texas (where it's optional), it's highly recommended.
Q How is workers' comp cost calculated?
A
Cost is based on your payroll, industry classification code, and experience modifier (claims history). Higher-risk industries pay more.
Q Does workers' comp cover independent contractors?
A
Generally no. But misclassifying employees as contractors can create serious legal and financial risk.

A
Your MOD reflects your claims history compared to similar businesses. A MOD below 1.0 means fewer claims and lower premiums.
