So How Much Is It?
The cost for Workers Compensation varies greatly! It is based upon how much you pay your employees on a per $100 basis. So, in other words, if you have a clerical office you can expect to pay .38 to .42 cents per $100 of payroll. Or another easy way to figure the cost is to take your total yearly payroll and divide it by $100. Then multiply the answer by the given Workers Compensation rate.
There are certain exceptions to this rule: Sole Proprietor, Corporate Officers, Members of a Limited Liability Company.
Owners and Officers of companies can exclude themselves and thereby in some cases, save a good deal of money.
