Worst-case math
Uninsured worker. Both legs amputated. A $2.4M tort settlement.
P.I. & I. Motor Express paid $2.4M after not carrying WC for an injured worker. Coverage in place would have barred the suit — the exposure per-dispatch WC closes.
For dispatched repair & field services
Per-dispatch coverage for 1099 field-service techs. From assignment to active policy in 45 seconds.
WC and GL issued in the contractor's name and embedded in your dispatch flow — keep your techs 1099, skip the broker calls. No monthly retainer, no per-tech minimum, no payroll markup.
The dispatch coverage gap
Techs roll on jobs without coverage. Customers are noticing.
Same-day dispatch outruns same-week broker paperwork. The friction points your dispatcher already knows by name.
Per-dispatch billing
Annual WC is the wrong primitive for a workforce that bills per ticket.
You bill per dispatch; coverage should too — activate at ticket open, audit on actuals, never estimates.
Multi-state reality
Techs cross 3 states a week. WC class codes don't.
Coverage auto-routes by jurisdiction, so PA, NY, and NJ each settle into the right class without dispatcher math.
COI sprawl
Property managers expect a fresh COI per service window.
Auto-issue, auto-store, auto-renew — your dispatcher stops chasing broker certificates.
Repeat-work advantage
Insured techs accept faster. Faster techs win repeat business.
Coverage gets your techs the job — and reliable, same-day starts are what keep the customer coming back.
We work with 1099 contractors and we'd been pushing them to carry insurance — but early on they resist, and if they're only doing part-time work they don't need a full annual policy. Coverage per job, through an API, is exactly the structure that works.
Built for the dispatcher's screen
Four capabilities, built for the dispatch workflow.
What happens between the customer accepting the quote and the tech tapping 'on-site' — coverage threaded through the Assignments API.

01
Bind WC and customer-property GL the moment a tech accepts the work order.
Your dispatch system hits the Assignments API. We return a quote priced by class code and jurisdiction. The tech opts in once; subsequent assignments re-bind automatically within the policy window.

Premium meters per dispatch, audited on actuals — not estimates.
Annual policies always end in a true-up. Ours doesn't. Premium is recorded per assignment, reconciled in real time, and shown in the dispatcher's portal at any time.

Tech in New Jersey bills 9410. Same tech crosses to Pennsylvania next morning, bills 9405. Routing happens at assignment — the dispatcher doesn't think about it, the audit doesn't either.
Dispatch desk Q's
What dispatch operators need to know before going live.
Per-job WC behavior on multi-tech routes, customer-property GL edge cases, and how the dispatcher's day-of workflow stays clean.
Often, yes. Property managers, national accounts, and enterprise customers increasingly require proof that every tech arriving on site has active workers' comp in the contractor's name.
Yes. 1099Policy can activate coverage around the job window, route it to the right state and class code, and record premium against the actual dispatch.
The assignment should be rated by where the work happens. We route coverage by jurisdiction at dispatch time so each job lands in the right state, class code, and certificate record.
Yes. The tech remains the named insured, and the customer-of-record, property manager, or enterprise client can be added where the contract requires it.
Your dispatch system can send the job details, work state, class, contractor, and customer requirements before the assignment is released. 1099Policy returns the coverage status and certificate record.
The independent field-service contractor or tech is the named insured. The coverage follows the work without converting the tech to W-2.
