Protection For Employees And Employers

Workers' compensation insurance pays for medical care, rehabilitation, and a portion of lost wages when an employee is hurt or becomes ill due to work. It also provides benefits to families if a workplace injury is fatal. In Wisconsin, most employers with staff must carry workers' comp, and T4 Insurance Solutions can clarify thresholds and get you covered quickly.

Rules, Classes, And Premiums

Premiums are based on job classifications and payroll, so a roofer in Milwaukee County will rate differently than an office assistant in Jackson. For many employers, coverage is required once your team reaches certain size or payroll levels. Our advisors make sure your employees are properly classified and your policy complies with Wisconsin rules.

Extra Protection Within The Policy

Standard policies include an employers liability section for rare lawsuits not handled by the workers' comp system. This helps protect your business beyond medical and wage benefits. We will explain limits and when an umbrella policy might be appropriate for added peace of mind.

Prevention That Pays Off

A safe workplace reduces claims and premiums over time. We connect you with carrier resources for safety training and return-to-work strategies that help employees recover faster. T4 Insurance Solutions also reviews audits and experience modifiers to keep your costs in check.

Straight Answers For Wisconsin Employers

  • At what point do I need workers' comp in Wisconsin

    If you have employees, you likely need a policy, and many employers must carry it once they have three or more workers. Specific thresholds can vary by situation. We will confirm your obligations and get you compliant.

  • Are owners or LLC members required to be covered

    Owners are generally not required to cover themselves but must cover eligible employees. You can elect owner coverage if desired. We will outline pros and cons for your role.

  • What benefits does an injured employee receive

    Policies typically pay medical care, rehabilitation, and a portion of lost wages during recovery, subject to state limits. If there is a permanent impact, additional benefits may apply. Our team can explain benefits in plain language.

  • Does workers' comp replace general liability

    No. Workers' comp addresses injuries to your employees. General liability handles injuries to customers or the public. Most businesses need both.
