What New Jersey owners should know before hiring.
It is generally required for employers
New Jersey requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation, and penalties can be severe for going without. We confirm what applies to your business.
Class codes set your price
Premium depends on payroll and the classification of the work. A correct class code matters; the wrong one can overpay or cause audit surprises.
Subcontractors need attention
Hiring uninsured subcontractors can put their injuries on your policy at audit. Certificates from subs protect you.

Questions
Workers’ comp questions we hear every week
Do I need it if I only have one employee?
Often yes. Requirements depend on how workers are classified. Tell us who works for you and we will explain what applies.
What is the payroll audit?
At the end of the policy, the carrier checks actual payroll and adjusts the premium. Keeping clean records makes it smooth.
Does it cover independent contractors?
It depends on how the relationship is structured and classified. We help you document it so you are not surprised at audit.
