Not all industries are automatically covered by workers’ compensation insurance. Industries that are not required to have coverage are called exempt industries. If you’re in an exempt industry, you can voluntarily apply for workers’ compensation coverage to protect your workers. Please contact us if you’re not sure if you’re operating in an exempt industry.
