Workers Compensation in Mississippi

Workers Compensation for Hattiesburg Employers

Whether you run a busy restaurant near USM, a construction crew working sites around Petal, or a growing retail shop downtown, your employees are the backbone of your business. Elite Insurance Agency helps Hattiesburg employers put workers compensation coverage in place so an on-the-job injury does not turn into a financial crisis for you or your team.

Mississippi's Coverage Requirements

Under Mississippi law, any employer with five or more employees, including full-time, part-time, seasonal, and temporary workers, is required to carry workers compensation insurance, and coverage begins on an employee's very first day with no waiting period. Businesses with fewer than five employees are exempt but can still choose to carry coverage voluntarily, which many owners do for the added sense of security it provides. We help you understand exactly where your business stands and get a policy in place that satisfies the Mississippi Workers' Compensation Commission's requirements without any guesswork.

What Workers Compensation Covers

A workers compensation policy through Elite Insurance Agency can help provide:

  • Medical coverage for injuries or illnesses that happen on the job
  • Partial wage replacement while an injured employee recovers
  • Disability benefits for employees who cannot return to their previous role
  • Death benefits for an employee's family in the event of a fatal workplace accident
