Workers' Compensation Insurance provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees who are injured while working. Most states require employers to obtain, pay for, and maintain a Workers' Comp policy for their employees. See requirements for every state→
What we'll cover
What to know before you begin
Obtaining coverage:
While you can enter and manage your Workers' Comp class codes and rates for your employees, it is still your responsibility to set up and maintain your Workers' Comp policy. Entering information on this page in no way gives the application the responsibility of reporting or paying your Workers' Comp premiums.
OnPay has partnered with Next to provide affordable, pay-as-you-go Workers' Compensation coverage. Our experienced team can answer your questions and even help you set up a plan that's perfect for your business. Set up a quick workers' comp consultation now→
Where to find the information you need:
Look for the following information in the notice you received from your insurance provider:
- Class Code
- Name
- Rate
Keep in mind that this notice may have multiple class codes based on job duties.
Adding class codes
Go to Company, then Workers' Comp. You'll see any workers' comp class codes already added here.
Click and type to update the Name or Rate. It should exactly match the information provided by your insurance provider.
Click +Add to enter a new class code with a new name and rate.
Select your state from the list, then enter the name, class code, and rate provided by your insurer.
Click Create when you're finished.
Paying employees in multiple states?
You likely have Workers' Compensation rates listed for each state where you have a worksite. Some states may even have multiple rates based on the job's potential for hazard. We'll cover this when we assign the policy and rate to the employee.
