A Primer on Workers Comp.
When I first started this blog, I promised myself I would take the time to post featurettes on small business topics for which business school really did not prepare me. The first such feature was on buying a business.
This week, I turn to the topic of workers comp. insurance. Never in 2 years at one of the more storied business schools in the nation, nor in nearly 20 years at the largest corporations in the world, did I once encounter the topic of workers comp. Now, since I bought my own business, I spend inordinate amounts of time dealing with it.
This article will focus on workers comp. from the employers point of view (most state web sites are useless to employers - they have reams of detail for workers on how to file claims or complaints, but nothing to help employers learn how it all works).
