Why Should California Employers Have Worker’s Compensation Insurance?
Worker’s Compensation Insurance is a form of insurance purchased by the employers for the employees that are working in their organization. This law is identified under the Labor Code Section 3700, which certifies that every employer must hold a WCI for their employee and failure to do so means that the employer is violating FEHA under the specified code.
Further if an employer does not hold a WCI for their employee then it can turn out to be quite expensive because the DLSE is issued along with a stop order where assessment is made to find the total sum of penalized amount and till then the services of the employee remains prohibited but they receive their wages.
What is the Penalty Assessed for Failure to carry Worker’s Compensation Insurance?
There are two major consequences of not having worker’s compensation insurance:
Twice the amount of money should be paid by the employer to the employee that they would have received from the premium if they were insured with WCI
A penalty of $1,500 for every employee who provides its service without being insured by Worker’s Compensation Insurance.
Though there are some exceptions to the penalties that are set by the Labor Law of California, the majority of cases end with these speculated penalties.
