Why CoverToday

Compliant coverage without the cash crunch

California employers with employees are generally required to carry workers’ comp, and most contracts demand proof. We place coverage for trades others decline — roofing, trucking, construction — and set up pay-as-you-go billing tied to payroll so you’re not fronting a big deposit.

Pricing

How much it costs

In California, workers’ comp averages about $63/month for many small employers, priced at roughly $1.34 per $100 of payroll — but the rate swings widely by class code, from low for clerical work to high for manual trades. Pay-as-you-go billing ties premium to actual payroll, so there’s little or no upfront deposit. We shop comp specialists to place hard-to-rate trades affordably.

Requirements

Who needs it

California law requires workers’ comp for virtually all employers with employees — full-time or part-time, with no minimum headcount. Beginning January 2028, all licensed contractors must carry it even with no employees. Not carrying it is serious: penalties can reach $10,000 per employee, a stop-work order, and up to $100,000 in fines plus possible jail.
