What it is

Workers’ compensation provides medical, disability, and death benefits for work-related injuries and illnesses and protects employers from most employee lawsuits for those claims. California generally requires it for employees—even part-time in many cases.

Who it's for

Employers with W-2 staff, growing businesses adding payroll, and operators needing compliance for contracts or licenses.

What it may cover

Examples only—see your policy for terms, exclusions, and limits.

Statutory medical and indemnity benefits per California rules.
Employer liability section where included.
Class codes and payroll as rating basis—we keep classifications accurate.

Why Cali-Fast

Misclassified payroll is expensive. We align class codes, owner inclusion/exclusion elections, and multi-state exposure with how you actually operate.

Common questions

Do 1099 contractors need workers’ comp?: True independent contractors may be exempt, but misclassification is risky. We point you to underwriting guidance; legal classification is fact-specific.
Can owners exclude themselves?: California has specific rules for inclusion/exclusion of officers and partners. We walk through valid elections.
