Nassau County employers are subject to New York State workers comp law, which means coverage is required from the moment you hire your first employee. With one of the highest costs of doing business in the region, finding the right workers comp rate matters. Here is what Nassau County employers need to know.
New York Workers Comp Requirements in Nassau County
New York law requires all Nassau County employers with one or more employees to carry workers comp insurance. The New York Workers Compensation Board enforces this actively, particularly in construction. Fines for uninsured employers can reach $2,000 per ten-day period and business owners can face personal criminal liability for injuries to uninsured workers.
