Summary
Pay-as-you-go workers’ compensation insurance offers a more flexible and accurate alternative to traditional policies. Instead of paying large upfront premiums based on estimates, businesses pay in real time with each payroll cycle. This approach improves cash flow, eliminates surprise audit costs, and ensures premiums are based on actual wages. For small and mid-sized businesses, it simplifies compliance while making workers’ comp more predictable and easier to manage.
