Exceptions are made for agricultural employees, railroad employees, certain commission-paid real estate agents, and employees of Textile Hall Corporation.
Your workers’ compensation insurance cost will depend on the types of jobs your employees do, your company’s overall payroll, and the rate of injuries within your industry.

We expanded rapidly over the last year or so. We needed to make sure we're fully covered if something did happen, so we got TrustedChoice. They were recommended to me by another small business. I also felt like it had more personal touch. I called the number off the website, and I pretty much made my mind up just after a 10-minute phone call. They made it easy by explaining what you can or can't do and what really benefits you compared to other people.
