Read on for a detailed overview of how workers’ compensation insurance works and why general contractors and artisan contractors need appropriate protection.

What is Workers’ Compensation Insurance?

Workers’ compensation insurance provides medical, rehabilitation, and wage replacement benefits to employees who sustain injuries or illnesses arising out of the course of their work.

As a general contractor or artisan contractor, your employees may be injured on the job in a variety of ways:

• Back strains, hernias, and musculoskeletal injuries from lifting heavy materials
• Lacerations, amputations, or embedded debris in hands/fingers from power tools
• Respiratory issues from dusts, fumes, or chemicals
• Loss of eyesight or eye injuries from flying debris
• Concussions or fractures from falls or falling objects
• Crushed or broken bones from unsecured heavy loads or equipment issues
• Electrical shocks from exposed wiring
• Hearing loss or tinnitus from constant loud noise

Even with safety precautions, construction jobs carry inherent risks daily. The financial costs of these employee injuries can easily climb into the tens or hundreds of thousands when medical bills and lost wages add up.

Having proper workers’ compensation insurance coverage is the only way to cover these costs without financial disaster. It helps keep your business afloat if an on-the-job accident occurs by paying for the injury. This insurance is just as crucial as general liability coverage for general contractors and artisans to have ironclad protection.

Moreover, workers’ compensation laws are determined on a state-by-state basis but have some common elements:

• No-fault coverage – Benefits must be paid regardless of who was at fault for an injury.
• Exclusive remedy – Prevents separate lawsuits against the employer. Workers’ comp is the exclusive remedy.
• Mandatory coverage – Nearly every state requires coverage with few exceptions. Failing to carry this insurance leads to significant fines.
• Employer-financed – Employers foot the bill for all premiums. Employees are not required to contribute.

As the employer, it is your responsibility to purchase adequate workers’ compensation for all your staff and maintain compliance with your state’s guidelines. Failing to do so poses tremendous financial risks to your business.

Why Do Contractors Need Workers’ Comp Insurance?

Due to the physical nature of construction work, employee injuries are common. Situations requiring workers’ compensation benefits could include:

• Back strains, hernias, and musculoskeletal injuries from lifting drywall, lumber, tools, and heavy materials.
• Lacerations, amputations, or embedded debris in hands/fingers from power saws, box cutters, nails, and other sharp objects.
• Respiratory issues like asthma attacks triggered by dusts, fumes from chemicals or finishes.
• Loss of eyesight or eye injuries from flying debris.
• Concussions or fractures from falls off ladders, scaffolding, or unfinished upper floors.
• Crushed or broken bones/limbs from unsecured heavy loads tipping over or equipment malfunctioning.
• Electrical shocks from exposed wiring when working on electrical systems.
• Hearing loss or tinnitus from constant loud noise on job sites from heavy machinery.

Even with safety precautions, construction jobs carry inherent risks daily. The financial costs of these employee injuries can easily climb into the tens or hundreds of thousands when medical bills and lost wages add up.

Having proper workers’ compensation insurance coverage is the only way to cover these costs without financial disaster. It helps keep your business afloat if an on-the-job accident occurs by paying for the injury. This insurance is just as crucial as general liability coverage for general contractors and artisans to have ironclad protection.

Moreover, nearly every state requires general contractors and artisans to carry workers’ compensation insurance on their employees. Even in monopolistic states where coverage must be purchased through a state-run fund, construction contractors must still carry this insurance. These states include North Dakota, Ohio, Washington, and Wyoming.

All states require workers’ compensation except Texas and Oklahoma. In Texas, workers’ comp insurance is optional for contractors. However, ~90% still choose to purchase this coverage to limit liability. If not carried, employees can sue the contractor directly for injuries. In Oklahoma, workers’ comp is optional for very small employers with 1 or 2 employees, which may apply to some self-employed contractors or tiny firms. Firms with more than 2 employees must carry comp insurance in Oklahoma.

The vast majority of general contractors and artisans are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance on their staff in nearly every state. Only a small subset of solo self-employed contractors or micro firms may potentially not be required in Texas and Oklahoma depending on size. However, even in these two states coverage is still highly recommended to avoid lawsuits. Every other state mandates workers’ comp.

What Does Workers’ Comp Insurance Cover for Contractors?

Workers’ compensation insurance policies are designed to accomplish two things if an employee is hurt while working:

1. Pay the employee’s medical bills and directly related expenses. This includes hospital fees, physical therapy, doctor visits, prescription medications, medical equipment, home health care, and any other medical costs stemming from the work injury. There are no caps or limits on the amount of medical coverage provided.
2. Reimburse a portion of the employee’s lost wages while they recover. The specifics on wage reimbursement percentages and duration limits depend on individual state laws. Most states cover around 2/3 of the employee’s average wages up to state maximums.

Additional benefits covered may include:

• Death benefits for surviving dependents if an employee passes away due to a workplace injury or illness. Most states provide both burial costs and wage replacement.
• Vocational rehabilitation to help injured employees transition back to work or train for a new occupation if they cannot continue construction work due to permanent disability.
• Mileage reimbursement for trips to doctor appointments and medical facilities.

Workers’ compensation is intended to cover all reasonable and directly related medical, rehabilitative, and wage replacement costs to help the injured employee fully recover and get back to work if possible.

It’s important to understand workers’ compensation insurance only applies to injuries occurring within the scope of employment. Key exclusions to be aware of include:

• Injuries occurring outside of work hours or off company premises. There must be a clear connection to work duties.
• Pre-existing health conditions that are aggravated or exacerbated by work activities. The injury itself must arise out of employment.
• Intentionally self-inflicted injuries such as suicide attempts and self-harm activities.
• Injuries occurring when an employee violates policy such as fighting, committing crimes, or intoxication at work.
• Ordinary diseases of life like colds, flu, allergies etc. that are not caused solely by work duties.
• Gradual hearing loss or repetitive motion injuries that occur slowly over time. These may be disputed by insurers.

Any gray areas or disputes will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. But in general, workers’ compensation insurance covers only identifiable injuries resulting from the employee’s job duties. Other key coverages like health insurance help fill gaps that workers’ comp does not address.

How Much Does Workers’ Comp Cost for Contractors?

Workers’ compensation insurance costs vary greatly by state since each state governs the specifics of coverage required within its borders. Rates are also driven by the classification or risk-level of the contractor’s employees.

How Premiums are Calculated

Your insurance premium depends on several factors, but it’s mainly based on the type of work your employees do. Insurance companies use a system of “class codes” to categorize different jobs and their associated risks.

Class Codes Explained

The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) has created over 600 class codes. These codes help insurance companies accurately assess the risk and set appropriate prices for different types of work. For contractors, three common class codes are 5606, 5645, and 5403.

Code 5606: Lowest Risk

• This code is for project managers and supervisors who don’t do hands-on work.
• They must oversee projects through other supervisors, not directly manage workers or subcontractors on site.
• If you’re directly involved in on-site work, you might be moved to a higher-risk category.

Code 5645: Medium Risk

• This applies to contractors working on small residential buildings (up to three floors).
• It covers various tasks like framing, flooring, siding, and carpentry.
• You must be involved in building the main structure to qualify for this code.

Code 5403: Highest Risk

• This code is for larger or more complex building projects, typically over three stories high.
• It includes both residential (like apartment buildings) and commercial buildings.
• It also covers carpentry work for these larger structures.

Artisan Contractors are generally classified under different codes depending on the type of construction work:

• 5645 – Residential construction and remodeling of homes up to 3 stories. Includes rough carpentry like framing, roofing, flooring, siding as well as finish work when done by the same contractor. Not for commercial buildings.
• 5403 – General carpentry for residential dwellings over 3 stories and all commercial structures with no height limit. Includes framework, siding, flooring, and finish work.
• 8227 – Permanent storage yards and shop facilities maintained by contractors for equipment and material storage. For dedicated yard employees only.
• 5437 – Specialized interior finish carpentry like cabinets, stairs, trim, molding, hardwood floors. Not intended for structural work.
• 5474 – Exterior and interior painting contractors. Includes prep work, spraying, rolling, brushing walls.
• 5221 – Poured concrete contractors. Work includes floors, foundations, sidewalks, driveways, curbs, and patios.
• 5190 – Electrical contractors providing wiring services in residential and commercial settings. Includes new installs, repairs, equipment wiring.
• 3724 – Installation and repair of miscellaneous building equipment like elevators, overhead doors, and gas pumps. Excludes electrical, plumbing, and HVAC.
• 5183 – Plumbing contractors doing pipe connections for water, gas, steam. Includes faucet, sink, and sprinkler system installs and repairs.
• 5537 – HVAC contractors performing installation, service, and repair of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems.
• 5348 – Flooring contractors specializing in ceramic tile installation.
• 5478 – Flooring contractors specializing in carpet and laminate installation.
• 5551 – Roofing contractors doing new installs and repairs on all roof types – shingles, metal, tar, slate. Residential and commercial.
• 6217 – Site preparation through excavation, grading, land clearing, tree removal. Includes rock and dirt moving.
• 2702 – Logging companies removing standing timber and trees. Includes incidental stump removal.
• 0006 – Planting and installing new trees. May include delivery.
• 0005 – Growing and cultivating trees, plants, and shrubs. Delivery and planting also included.
• 2802 – Manufacturing wood products like cabinets and trusses in a wood shop facility. Also covers product delivery.
• 5606 – Administrative construction management with indirect supervision through other managers. No direct project oversight.
• 0042 – Landscaping companies doing installation, maintenance, and repair of gardens, yards, and outdoor aesthetics.
• 8810 – Clerical employees like bookkeepers, payroll, secretaries, and administrative assistants. Office-based support staff.

General Contractors can expect to pay between $5 – $17+ per $100 of payroll towards workers’ compensation premiums depending on class code and state. Here are some of the major factors that influence workers’ comp costs for contractors:

• Class codes – The risk level of work performed such as concrete or electrical work.
• Payroll size – More employees and higher payroll increase premiums.
• Claims history – Too many past claims raise your risk profile.
• Safety discounts – Documented safety initiatives may lower premiums.
• Premium options – Monthly installments cost more than annual payments.
• State Regulations – Local laws affect benefits and base rates.

Typical Limits

The coverage limits for workers’ compensation insurance depend on the state where you operate. Each state sets its own requirements for the minimum amount of coverage you need to carry.

Exact workers’ compensation costs depend on these specific underwriting factors. Work with an insurance specialist to get quotes tailored to your contracting business. They will survey your employee classifications, payroll, and claims data in pricing a customized policy.

Critical Factors That Impact Contractor Workers’ Comp Premium Costs

Several interrelated variables drive the final premium costs contractors will pay for mandatory workers’ compensation policies. The major factors that determine pricing are discussed below.

Payroll is the Primary Premium Input

The estimated total annual payroll or employee remuneration is another major factor used by insurers to calculate workers’ compensation policy premiums. Premium rating rules are applied based on rates per $100 of payroll for given class code risk exposures.

For instance, a contractor may have a rate of $15 per $100 of payroll for Code 5610, and $10 per $100 of payroll for lower risk Code 5606 office work. Payroll estimates are multiplied by the rated risk to derive the premium cost.

Payroll generally reflects the total anticipated employee compensation over a 12 month policy term. Estimates typically rely on prior year payroll as a baseline, often incorporating a growth percentage. Regional differences in construction pay scales also influence payroll amounts used for rating.

Properly categorizing payroll totals across multiple risk classes is imperative to avoid overpaying premiums for higher rated activities that don’t reflect a contractor’s actual work mix. Office staff may fall under lower rate codes vs laborers facing greater physical hazard exposures.

Meticulous payroll reporting by project and employee role also ensures accurate audits required by insurers to confirm final premium costs. A 10-20% buffer may be added to payroll estimates to allow for growth surprises and prevent audit premium increases. Subcontractor payments can be excluded from payroll calculations to further optimize costs.

Base Rates per $100 of Payroll Determined by Class Codes

The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) manages a system of classification codes used by insurers to categorize employment and occupational risks for rating workers’ compensation policies. Based on extensive historical data about various industries and professions, the NCCI assigns codes reflecting the relative hazards and likelihood of injuries for different types of work.

Common NCCI class codes used for general contractor operations include:

• 5645 – Contractor: Construction and remodeling of residential homes up to 3 stories. Includes rough carpentry like framing, roofing, flooring, siding as well as finish work when done by the same contractor. Not for commercial buildings.
• 5403 – Contractor: Construction or erection work not otherwise classified. Includes general carpentry for residential dwellings over 3 stories and all commercial structures with no height limit. Includes framework, siding, flooring, and finish work.

These NCCI class codes group contractors with similar exposures to determine baseline rates used in premium calculations. Accurately selecting class codes encompassing all facets of a contractor’s work without overpaying for unneeded higher risk activities is crucial for optimizing workers’ comp costs.

Insurers take the class code risk rates paired with variables like payroll estimates and experience to determine portions of the premium. For instance, Code 5403 for large residential and commercial construction has a higher base rate than Code 5645. Proper classification is imperative to prevent being assigned inflated rates exceeding a contractor’s actual risk profile.

We’ll explore class code assignment specifics and potential pitfalls like restrictive interpretations later in the guide. For now, understand that NCCI codes grouping similar contractor risks are the foundation for premium determination.

Experience Modifier Rating (EMR) Determined by Claims History

The experience rating modifier is another major factor influencing premium expenses for contractors. Often abbreviated as EMR or X Mod, the experience modifier is calculated by comparing the dollar amount of an employer’s past workers’ compensation claims to average amounts for their industry and risk class.

EMR is expressed as a multiplicative rating between 0.75 and 1.25 in most states, with 1.00 representing the industry baseline. EMRs below 1.00 indicate better than expected experience, with fewer or lower cost claims than similar firms. EMRs above 1.00 reflect worse experience with higher claims frequency and costs.

The EMR directly multiplies other premium components like base rates and payroll estimates. For instance, an EMR of 0.90 would reduce a $100,000 premium by 10% to $90,000. Conversely, a 1.15 EMR would increase that premium cost by 15% to $115,000. Even small differences in EMR can greatly impact overall workers’ comp costs.

Controlling EMR over time by preventing injuries through workplace safety and effectively managing any claims is a top cost reduction strategy for contractors. An EMR exceeding 1.15 can hamper contractor competitiveness, while driving the EMR down below 1.00 yields significant bottom line savings year after year.

Here you can learn more about the process of contractors filing a worker’s compensation claim.

Workers Comp Premium Formula for Contractors

Workers’ compensation premiums for contractors derive directly from the following core formula used by insurers:

Premium = (Payroll / 100) x Base Rate x EMR

• Payroll is estimated total annual compensation
• Base Rate comes from the NCCI class code risk designations
• EMR is the experience modifier based on past loss history

Higher values entered for payroll estimates, base class rates, and the experience modifier will raise overall premium expenses. However, contractors have opportunities to manage these key variables and inputs through a focus on safety, proper work classification, payroll accuracy, and effective claims management.

Now that we’ve reviewed the major components that determine pricing, let’s examine why contractor trades in particular face such high workers’ compensation costs.

Why Contractors Have Significantly Higher Workers’ Comp Premiums

Due to the hands-on nature of contracting work, contractors face many inherent occupational hazards and accident risks every day on the job. Common exposures leading to frequent injuries and workers’ compensation claims in the trades include:

• Falls – Contractors work at height on roofs, ladders, and scaffolding. Falls often result in severe or fatal injuries.
• Electrocution – Contact with live wires during construction can cause electric shock or burns.
• Lacerations – Power saws, hammers, and other sharp hand tools pose laceration and amputation risks.
• Muscle strains – Lifting heavy materials and equipment leads to back, shoulder and elbow injuries.
• Motor vehicle crashes – Traveling to job sites leads to accident exposures.
• Toxic hazards – Chemicals in sealants, paints, and finishes may cause eye irritation or poisoning.

These severe and frequent injury exposures mean contractor trades endure substantially higher workers’ compensation claims compared to administrative professions. As a direct result, NCCI class codes for contractors have significantly greater base rates used to calculate premiums.

For instance, the average base rate across all states for Construction Executive Supervisors Code 5606 is around $3 per $100 of payroll. But the base rate for General Construction Code 5610 is $15 per $100 of payroll – 5 times higher!

Greater injuries and compensation outlays mean far higher premium factors get applied to contractor payrolls. A constant and vigilant focus on safety programs, training, protective gear, and hazard mitigation is critical for contractor firms to help control risks and high premium costs.

Okay, now that we’ve reviewed how class codes, experience modifiers, payroll, and inherent risk drive up contractor workers’ comp costs, let’s look at how small changes in EMR can greatly impact premiums.

The Major EMR Multiplier Effect on Contractor Premium Costs

As a significant variable in the workers’ compensation premium formula, minor changes in a contractor’s experience modifier can greatly impact overall costs. For example, consider a firm with:

• Estimated Annual Payroll: $1,000,000
• Base Rate: $15 per $100 of payroll
• Scenario 1: EMR of 0.85
• Scenario 2: EMR of 1.10

Scenario 1 Premium: $15 x 0.85 x ($1,000,000 / 100) = $127,500

Scenario 2 Premium: $15 x 1.10 x ($1,000,000 / 100) = $165,000

Here a 0.25 increase in the EMR, from a favorable 0.85 to higher 1.10, results in a $37,500 rise in annual workers’ compensation premium costs. This demonstrates the sizable multiplier effect small EMR fluctuations can produce for contractor’s bottom lines.

The ability to control EMR over time through workplace injury prevention and effective post-incident claims management results in major cost savings for conscientious contractor firms.

But using the Contractor Premium Calculator gives you a powerful starting point to forecast and control workers’ comp costs based on your firm’s risk profile.

Comparing Workers’ Comp Rates for Contractors by State

In addition to individual risk characteristics, the state in which a contractor operates can have a major impact on workers’ compensation premium expenses. Each state regulates its own workers’ comp system with unique laws, base rates, benefit mandates, and cost drivers.

Some states have significantly higher workers’ comp premium factors across all occupations, resulting in material cost differences even among similar contractor firms. For multi-state operators, understanding and accounting for jurisdictional variables is crucial in insurance planning and cost control efforts.

Below we’ve compiled indicative cost ranges by state for contractor employees and per $100,000 in payroll, based on typical premium rates for a blend of Code 5610 and Code 5606 across the US:

Table 1 – Typical Workers’ Comp Cost per Contractor Employee

Table 2 – Typical Workers’ Comp Cost per $100K Payroll

This data reveals material cost differences between states. Premium factors in high cost states like New Jersey run nearly 3X higher than lower cost states like Indiana for similar contractors.

Understanding jurisdictional risk and regulatory variables allows contractors to incorporate geographic cost differences into their insurance planning and budgeting process. Operating across state lines requires particular attention to localized factors that impact premiums.

Now that we’ve reviewed key elements that influence workers’ comp costs for contractors, let’s examine proactive strategies contractors can employ to reduce rates and secure affordable coverage.

Expert Strategies to Lower Contractor Workers’ Comp Premiums

While some premium variables like state regulations are fixed, proactive contractors can utilize strategies to control other factors and secure affordable workers’ compensation coverage. Experts recommend considering the following tactics:

• Implement stringent safety programs with accountability at all management and employee levels to help control workplace risks. This is the #1 long-term cost reduction strategy.
• Maintain meticulous payroll records properly categorized by risk class, employee type, and project. Precise payroll inputs prevent overpayment.
• Research alternative plans like self-insurance or forming an industry risk pool for larger firms to lower costs through scale.
• Compare rates across multiple carriers when policies renew and negotiate optimal pricing through independent agents who can provide choices.
• Contest any identified billing errors immediately to enable premium corrections and refunds. Don’t overpay due to a carrier mistake.
• Consider group insurance plans offered through industry associations that pool risk to improve experience factors.
• Explore dividend plans and retrospective rating options that may provide partial premium refunds for good loss performance.
• Work with highly experienced insurance advisors or captive managers to maximize savings and avoid overpayment. Their expertise pays dividends.

Implementing even a portion of these strategies can yield substantial premium savings for diligent contractor firms while still securing mandatory and beneficial workers’ compensation protections.

Avoiding Costly Contractor Class Code Misclassifications

Some contractors may ask whether they can be classified under other construction categories with lower base rates. However, attempting to misreport employee duties or occupations constitutes fraud.

Insurers assign contractor-specific class codes like 5610 and 5606 based on the hazardous exposures and risks inherent to those trades documented over many years. During payroll audits, insurers carefully confirm daily activities, tools used, materials worked with, and services matched to codes.

Material misrepresentation of tradesman exposures would be uncovered and may prompt audits going back several years, penalties, and premium back-payments. Payroll should always be allocated accurately based on actual work performed.

Proper classification ensures contractors pay fair rates aligned with their risk level, without subsidizing lower risk activities. But there are legitimate ways to optimize costs like breaking out office payroll under lower rated clerical codes.

The key is working with experienced insurance advisors to assign payroll honestly across the codes reflecting each employee’s exposures. Attempting to misclassify trades as lower risk occupations to save premium is not advised.

How Can Contractors Get Tailored Workers’ Comp Insurance?

The workers’ compensation system can be complex to navigate with strict state and federal regulations. Mistakes in classification codes, Experience Mod calculations, and reporting claims can be very costly.

When seeking coverage, partnering with insurance specialists focused on the contracting trades is highly recommended. Avoid a one-size-fits-all policy from an insurance carrier’s website or call center.

Some key benefits of using contracting trade specialists include:

• Access to top regional and national insurers familiar with construction risks who actively write these policies for contractors. Captive contracting insurance agents only work with select carriers.
• Compliance expertise to steer you clear of violations and help manage claims appropriately. Confidently handle audits. Mistakes lead to fines.
• Potential access to contracting trade association plans not available to the general public. Group plans through ABC, AGC etc. can offer discounted rates.
• Policy customization based on your unique mix of employees and work types. Proper class codes control costs.
• Claims assistance including investigation, directing medical care, coordinating return to work and settlement. Leave the paperwork to the experts.

The right insurance partner takes the burden of handling complex workers’ compensation requirements off your shoulders. This allows you to focus on your contracting business rather than insurance administration. Avoid roadblocks to smooth operation.
