Employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance in Florida if:
Contractors should confirm that their sub-contractors have insurance before they work on a project. Otherwise, the sub-contractor’s employees become the responsibility of the contractor, who can be held liable in a work comp case.
If you are an independent contractor, you might not be covered by the hiring company’s insurance policy and may need to provide proof of work comp. Check whether you'd be considered an employee or an independent contractor and find out what trade contractors need to know before buying work comp insurance.
Corporate officers and LLC members may choose to exempt themselves from coverage, if they wish. Sole proprietors and partners are not required to have coverage, but can choose to include themselves on a policy.
A Florida workers’ compensation policy is only in effect within the state. If your employees travel across state lines to work, make sure you comply with their work comp requirements.
Florida is a base rate state, which means the initial insurance rates are mandated by the state. Florida uses NCCI (National Council on Compensation Insurance) to recommend base rates for each class code. The base rate is multiplied by your payroll, and then your experience modifier and other discounts may be applied to calculate the final premium.
While insurance costs spiked in 2016, more recently Florida rates have decreased. In late 2017, the Florida Insurance Commissioner ordered a statewide rate decrease, citing that safer workplaces and greater use of automation led to fewer workplace injuries.
Florida’s workers’ compensation system has been hotly debated over the past several years, as lawmakers have sought to control insurance costs.
The state legislature also recently passed a bill expanding workers’ compensation benefits to first responders that suffer PTSD or other mental injuries in the line of work.
