Mark Required Fields In Legal Colorado Workers' Compensation Forms For Free

The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) provides workers' compensation coverage for employment-related injuries and occupational diseases. Benefits include wage replacement, payment for medical care, and where necessary, medical and vocational rehabilitation assistance in returning to work and survivor benefits.

Regardless of the state you're in, employers pay for workers' compensation insurance. Your cost for workers' compensation is a percentage of your payroll. Unlike health insurance, there are no employee payroll deductions for workers' compensation insurance.

As with most states, in Colorado there are certain exemptions to who must be covered by workers' comp insurance. Those exemptions are: Domestic workers who work less than 40 hours per week and less than 5 days per week. Real estate brokers or agents who work entirely on commission.

Under any of these circumstances, the employee is probably entitled to file a Workers' Comp claim for the accident. However, employees who fall under the ?coming and going? rule?those who are traveling on a public road, going to or coming home from work?may find an accident falls outside the course of their employment.

You must be an employee. Your employer must carry workers' comp insurance. You must have a work-related injury or illness. You must meet your state's deadlines for reporting the injury and filing a workers' comp claim.

Colorado employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance if they have one or more employees. This applies to all employers, regardless of whether the employees are part-time, full-time, or family members.
