Workers' comp insurance covers both the employer and the injured worker. Like all types of insurance, it acts as a safety net in case of an accident.
If a worker gets hurt on the job, the insurance company will help cover the costs associated with their care so the worker is well taken care of until they return to work.
Since the company had a workers' comp policy, they do not need to pay anything towards the bills.
The National Council of Compensation Insurance (NCCI) sets a fixed rate for every industry.
The rate is based on the level of risk for that job description.
Premiums are primarily calculated by using your payroll numbers and your NCCI class code.
**Most states follow these NCCI codes. For more details on class codes, or to see if your state is one of the few that uses different codes, visit this detailed guide: Workers’ Comp Class Codes for Hotels
9052 - Hotel: All Other Employees & Salespersons, Drivers
9058 - Hotel: Restaurant Employees

A Waiver of Subrogation (WOS) prevents your insurance company from suing your franchisor after paying a claim. You can get a WOS by requesting it from your insurance provider. It can be applied to either all contracts (Blanket WOS) or specific ones (Specific WOS). Costs vary, so check with your provider for details.
