Product - Workers' Compensation

Workers' comp in the contractor's name.

Per-engagement coverage, priced against wage paid. Claims, COIs, and policy administration route through the IC's policy — never the platform's.

What's covered

Three layers, one policy.

Medical & indemnity

Statutory medical, lost-wage indemnity, vocational rehab, and death benefits — calculated to each state's compensation schedule.

  • No copay to the IC
  • Direct provider payment
  • Same-day claim intake

WC audit defense

At a WC audit, uninsured contractor labor gets picked up as the platform's payroll exposure — often with a three-year look-back. Contractor-named coverage with per-engagement COIs keeps that labor out of the audit ledger from the start.

  • Per-engagement COI evidence
  • COI archive for audit retrieval
  • Waiver of subrogation

Indicia of independence

Coverage that lives with the contractor — not the platform — keeps the relationship structurally clean under the ABC test, Cal AB5, and the new NY Fashion Workers Act.

  • Audit-ready COIs
  • 1099 status preserved
  • State filings included

Private-market WCMonopolistic state fund
*North Dakota, Ohio, Washington, and Wyoming are monopolistic state-fund jurisdictions — by statute, WC there is administered exclusively by the state, not the private market.
