Most business owners understand that Arizona workers compensation is important, but did you know that if you have employees, it is required by law for most businesses to have coverage?
Arizona workers compensation is a type of insurance coverage that protects your employees in case of injury or disease during the course of employment. Policies can provide coverage for:
• Medical expenses• Lost income/wages
• Rehabilitation costs
• Death benefits
• And more…
For anyone who is classified as an employee, it is required by law to provide them with Arizona workers compensation coverage. Employees can opt out of coverage, but if you do not offer it, you can be fined up to $2,500 a day and can face a Class D felony charge with a mandatory minimum one year prison sentence. Termination of an employee who is injured while working and/or who files an Arizona workers compensation claim is also illegal. As a rule, a company with five or more employees is mandated to purchase Arizona workers compensation insurance to cover medical expenses, permanent disability, and a portion of the injured employee’s wages.
