Workers’ Comp Florida
Easy, affordable, comprehensive coverage for your Florida based business and employees. From start-up to established brand – every small business that has employees should consider having Workers’ Comp Insurance.
Workers' Comp coverage provides benefits to employees for work-related injuries or illnesses including medical care, wages from lost work time, and more.
What is Workers’ Comp Insurance?
Accidents can occur, no matter what type of business you may run. Fortunately, Florida Workers’ Comp provides critical benefits to help you and your employees stay protected in the event of work-related injuries or illness.
Workers’ Comp Protects Your Business and Your Employees by Covering:
- Lost Wages for your injured or ill worker while they are off work.
- Medical Expenses to treat and care for your injured or ill worker.
- Vocational Rehabilitation if the injured employee is in need of ongoing care to help them recover and get back to work.
- Maintain Compliance with State Laws - You can avoid fines and other penalties imposed by the state of Florida for not having proper insurance coverage for your employees.
- Less High Out-of-Pocket Business Expenses - With OCMI’s affordable, Pay-As-You-Go plans, you’re protected from the high costs of workplace injuries or illnesses.
- Protection From Lawsuits - If an employee should sue you, your business is protected because workers’ comp insurance includes employer liability coverage.
- Death Benefits can be used to cover funeral costs, in case an employee happens to pass away due to a work-related incident.
Who needs Workers’ Comp Insurance in Florida?
It’s recommended that you carry Workers’ Comp if you have any employees. According to Florida state law, any company based under the construction industry category is required to have Workers' Comp coverage as soon as one employee is hired. And any non-construction company must carry Florida Workers’ Comp as soon as they have four or more employees.
There are some instances where you may be Workers' Comp exempt. You may check with the state to find out if coverage is mandatory for your business.
Operating without the required Workers’ Comp insurance coverage puts you at high risk for civil penalties. This means you or your business could be subject to a stop-work order that requires you to cease all operations until your business complies with the law AND all penalties are paid.
If you don’t comply with a stop-work order, the action could result in criminal charges. But as long as your coverage is compliant with the states’ laws, you can avoid any penalties and your employees who receive benefits can’t sue you or your business for their injuries or lost wages.

How is Workers’ Comp Calculated in Florida?
Florida is a "base rate" state, which means the initial insurance rates are mandated by the state. Every occupation has a class code associated with their scope of work and the state determines the percentage assigned to that code. Workers' Comp is calculated by taking your gross payroll, multiplied by your Workers' Comp rate(s).
