Worker's Compensation

With few exceptions, Utah employers are required to maintain worker’s compensation insurance coverage.  Coverage is available from a large number of insurance companies.

The Utah Insurance Department's role in workers compensation has to do with administrative and regulatory responsibilities regarding these insurance company's. Our role includes timely payment of claims. As far as prompt payment of claims however, we are unable to assist in situations where there are disputes over what is owed, or if the procedure or service is related to the work injury. We are unable to assist with wage claim issues, unless the payment is late, with no extenuating reasons. In most instances problems, concerns, or questions related to a workers’ compensation injury will need to be discussed with the Utah Labor Commission.

Workers’ Compensation Coverage Waivers (31A-22-1011)

Check with your Workers’ Compensation insurer (carrier) about coverage waivers if you think a waiver would be an option to consider.

If you currently do not have Workers’ Compensation Coverage, you may want to check with the Workers Compensation Fund: Information on Independent Contractors’ WC Insurance Waiver Certificate
