Workers Compensation
Required coverage for Minnesota employers, set up correctly the first time and adjusted as your payroll and crew change.
Minnesota generally requires employers to carry workers compensation, and getting the details right matters: employee classifications, payroll estimates, and owner inclusion or exclusion elections all affect both the premium and how a claim plays out. Todd sets up workers comp for the small employers he knows best, contractors, shops, offices, and growing trades, and keeps the policy aligned with reality as you hire, as roles change, and as annual audits come around. When a classification question or an audit letter shows up, you call Todd directly instead of deciphering it alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need workers compensation if I only have one part-time employee?
In most cases, yes. Minnesota's requirement generally applies as soon as you have an employee, with limited exceptions. It is worth a short conversation with Todd before assuming you are exempt, because the penalty for guessing wrong is significant.
I am the only person in my LLC. Do I need workers comp?
Sole owners with no employees are often not required to carry it, but some choose coverage anyway, and some general contractors require subs to carry it before they can work a job. Todd can walk through whether an election makes sense for how you work.
What is a workers comp audit and why did I get one?
Workers comp premiums are based on estimated payroll, so carriers audit actual payroll after the policy year and adjust. It is routine, not an accusation. Todd helps you prepare the numbers so the audit goes smoothly.
