Pay as You Go FAQs
Workers’ Comp Pay As You Go is simply an alternative way of making your premium payments. It is not different insurance, and it doesn’t replace your Workers’ Comp insurance or your responsibility to pay premiums. Pay As You Go eliminates costly up-front lump sum payments and improves cash flow by determining accurate premium amounts based on submitted payroll and automatic payment deductions.
Pay As You Go is a billing option that is available for policyholders with Workers’ Compensation policies over $5,000 in premium. The program may also be available to Workers’ Comp policyholders with premium less than $5,000 if you’re familiar with Pay As You Go from a previous carrier.
Pay As You Go allows your business to pay your Workers’ Compensation premium in real-time as payroll is run. Pay As You Go offers two payroll reporting options – you can either self-report payroll at the end of each pay period or work with a payroll company that will handle the reporting for you. *Not all payroll companies participate with Pay As You Go, including Paychex and ADP.
Pay As You Go has an easy to follow set up process – all you need to do is provide a few simple pieces of information and you’re ready to begin payroll submissions!
Benefits for your business include:
- Real-time workers’ compensation premium calculations
- Improved cash-flow for your business
