Michigan Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Worker’s Compensation Insurance
Michigan’s workers’ compensation system is in place to protect workers who are injured or killed on the job and those who have an occupational disease as a result of employment. Workers’ compensation also helps to protect employers by limiting their liability.
The state of Michigan requires businesses to purchase workers’ comp if:
- A private employer has 1 or more full-time employees (35 hours or more per week for 13 weeks or longer)
- A private employer has 3 or more employees at one time (including part-time employees)
- An agricultural employer has 3 or more employees working 35 hours or more per week for 13 or more consecutive weeks
- A household employs 1 or more domestic servants for 35 hours or more per week for 13 weeks or longer
- An employer is a public employer
