Arizona workers’ compensation laws

The most important thing to know about workers’ compensation insurance in Arizona is that it’s required. So if you employ at least one person in Arizona—full-time or part-time—you’ll need to purchase workers’ compensation for your small business. (And if you don’t buy workers’ compensation, there could be serious consequences for you and your company. Think fines, lawsuits, and a potential shutdown of your business.)

One convenient thing about workers’ compensation, though, is that you won’t have to make any difficult decisions concerning your business insurance coverages. The State of Arizona sets all limits, so you’ll get essentially the same product no matter where you buy your policy. (Which means you should shop around to get the best rate.)

In short, if you’re an Arizona small business with any amount of employees, you need workers’ compensation insurance. It provides important protection for the people who run your business (it’s also the right thing to do).

How much does workers’ compensation in Arizona cost?

Your rate for Arizona workers’ compensation, as set by insurance carriers, will depend on many factors, such as your industry, where you are in the state, and how clean your safety record is. Ultimately, though, the number one factor in what you’ll pay is the size of your payroll: The larger your payroll, the more employees you have—and the bigger the risk that one of them will get a work-related injury. It’s pretty straightforward.

So, what will your small business pay for workers’ compensation? Well, your rate depends on your company’s situation. But the average premium cost that our customers pay is $115 per month, and rates in Arizona have gone as low as $23 per month—which is only around 77 cents per day (and much less than the cost of a hospital bill or a lawsuit).

Arizona workers’ compensation coverage and exemptions

Arizona workers’ compensation covers medical expenses and lost wages if your employee ever has a medical issue due to their work. And it covers a wide variety of illnesses and injuries. For example, your employee could claim workers’ compensation benefits because they hurt their back while lifting a piece of heavy equipment—or because they got carpal tunnel syndrome from too much typing.

In both cases, this coverage would step in to make sure your ill or injured employee got the medical treatment they needed (and could provide for their family in the meantime, if the injury forced them to stay home from work). That means a portion of their average monthly wages, medical benefits, and lost income relief. For more severe workplace injuries or illnesses, workers’ compensation claims could also result in temporary or permanent disability benefits and even death benefits. 

Is anyone exempt from workers’ compensation in Arizona? If you’re a sole proprietor or a corporate partner, you’re not required to purchase it for yourself. You can also exclude LLC members or corporate officers from workers’ compensation benefits. Your policy, however, will typically cover your whole team. (Workers’ compensation provides important support during a difficult time, and purchasing it is the right thing to do.)

FAQ: Arizona workers’ compensation insurance

  • Maybe. If you’re truly a one-person show—that is, you never hire anyone—then you probably don’t need workers’ compensation. However, as soon as you hire someone (even if they only work part-time), the workers’ compensation requirement may apply to you.

  • Going without workers’ compensation in Arizona is a bad idea because any employer who doesn’t purchase workers’ compensation for their team when required, is technically guilty of a felony. If that’s you, then you’ll be vulnerable to all kinds of financial penalties and legal risks, such as a $10,000 fine or a lawsuit.

    Even worse, if the Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA) catches you going without workers’ compensation, they could completely shut down your business.

    Arizona law is nothing to mess around with. Operating your business without workers’ compensation isn’t worth the risk. Especially since you can get affordable workers’ compensation in about 5 minutes.

  • Definitely! Any worker can eventually become an injured worker—even if they’re only part-time. Be prepared for anyone on your payroll to suffer an injury and submit a report of injury form. Don’t get caught without the proper coverage in the event of a workers’ compensation claim.
