COMPENSATION
Workers Compensation Insurance
Edwards Insurance Agency
When you run a business with employees, there’s always a chance that someone could get hurt on the job. Even if you operate a relatively “safe” business like a retail store or an office environment, an employee could still slip and fall, be injured by falling inventory, or end up with overuse injuries from constant data entry or stocking shelves.
To provide your employees with the medical treatment and time off they need to heal, workers compensation insurance provides benefits that pay for their care and cover their wages while they’re recovering.

Why does my business need workers comp insurance?
In South Carolina, businesses with four or more employees are legally required to have workers compensation insurance. It does not matter if those employees are full time or part time, or if your workers are related to you. If you have at least four employees, you are required to purchase worker’s comp insurance.
Even if you don’t yet have four employees, the cost of purchasing workers comp insurance is far less than paying for an employee’s medical bills out of pocket. As we all know, a trip to the ER can cost upwards of $100,000, and long-term care can quickly escalate into millions of dollars. Workers comp protects you from losing your life savings to an accident at your workplace.
