As an employer, your business must provide workers’ compensation (WC) coverage for all employees. In the event one of your workers sustains a job injury or a work-related illness, workers’ compensation provides medical expenses and wage-loss compensation benefits until your employee can return to work. Workers’ compensation also provides death benefits for work-related deaths and is paid to dependent survivors. Benefits are paid by private insurance companies (also includes third-party administrators) or the State Workers’ Insurance Fund, which is a state-run workers’ compensation insurance carrier.

If you have questions regarding your business’s Workers’ Compensation (WC) compliance, visit the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry’s Workers’ Compensation Compliance page or Contact Us.
