NH law clearly states that every single business with one or more employees must purchase workers comp insurance. However, this type of coverage doesn’t just benefit your workers. It also benefits you; if one of your employees is injured on the job, your insurance policy will cover the bills regardless of who was at fault, and your employee, in most instances, can’t sue your business for additional compensation. <\/p>\n
It’s important to keep your workers comp policy up to date at all times. Employees leaving your business should be removed from your policy right away. Even more importantly, you’ll want to add new employees to your policy before they start work to ensure there are no gaps in coverage that could cause legal or financial problems. <\/p>\n
Adding a new employee to your policy isn’t complicated. To start, contact your insurance agency to let them know you need to add one or more new employees to your policy. Next, provide the required personal information for each employee you want to add to your policy. Finally, you’ll need to inform your insurer of each employee’s job duties or hazard classification. If you aren’t sure which classification applies to a particular employee, ask your insurer for advice to ensure there are no mistakes or misunderstandings. <\/p>\n
