Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need workers’ comp in Florida?2026-04-13T09:26:14-04:00

Yes, most businesses do. Florida requires coverage at 4+ employees (including officers), 1+ in construction, and 6+ regular or 12+ seasonal in agriculture. A 3-person office may not need it yet; a 1-person construction crew usually does.

What happens if I don’t carry required coverage?2026-04-13T10:17:39-04:00

It is a criminal offense. Penalties: stop-work order, $1,000/day fines, and personal liability for injuries. Florida actively investigates non-compliance.

Can I exempt myself as a business owner?2026-04-13T10:19:18-04:00

Corporate officers in non-construction may file an exemption with the state. Construction officers may also file but rules are stricter. Sole proprietors are generally not required to cover themselves.

Do 1099 contractors count toward my requirement?2026-04-13T10:20:17-04:00

Yes, they can. In Florida, uninsured subcontractors may be treated as your employees for WC purposes if they lack their own coverage or valid exemption. Common in construction.

Why is my premium so high?2026-04-13T10:20:55-04:00

Three factors: industry classification code, total payroll, and your EMR. An EMR above 1.0 means worse-than-average claims history. ClearPalm helps lower premiums through accurate classification and EMR improvement.

What is an EMR?2026-04-13T10:23:31-04:00

A score from NCCI comparing your claims history to peers. 1.0 is average. Below = fewer claims = lower premiums. Above = higher premiums. ClearPalm helps improve it through safety programs.

What is pay-as-you-go workers’ comp?2026-04-13T10:24:12-04:00

Premiums tied to actual payroll each pay period instead of a large upfront deposit. Improves cash flow and reduces year-end audit adjustments. Available through ClearPalm’s payroll-integrated model.

What causes audits to increase my premium?2026-04-13T10:24:54-04:00

Actual payroll exceeding your estimate, or misclassified employees. ClearPalm’s payroll integration keeps estimates accurate all year.

How does payroll integration reduce audit problems?2026-04-13T10:25:31-04:00

Same provider manages payroll and WC, so premiums are calculated on real data each period. Year-end audit finds little difference. Fewer surprises.
