Office businesses still need workers comp. In New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and every other East Coast state, the requirement applies to all employers with employees regardless of industry. An accounting firm, a law office, a marketing agency are all required to carry coverage.
What Injuries Happen in Offices?
Repetitive strain injuries from typing and computer use are most common. Slip-and-fall accidents in hallways and parking lots also occur. Employees injured while traveling for work may also be covered under workers comp.
How Much Does Office Workers Comp Cost?
Clerical employee class codes typically carry rates of $0.20 to $0.50 per $100 of payroll, among the lowest available. If your office also employs delivery drivers or outside salespeople, those employees carry higher-rate codes and must be classified separately.
