Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is EMPLOYERS endorsed by the California Restaurant Association?

Yes. EMPLOYERS has been endorsed as the workers' compensation provider of choice by several state restaurant associations, including California. This endorsement reflects their track record of competitive rates, responsive claims service, and programs specifically designed for restaurant operations. Members of participating restaurant associations may also qualify for automatic premium discounts or policy credits in some states. Oakview Insurance Services can confirm current discount availability for your business when we run your quote.

Is workers' compensation insurance required for my California business?

Yes. California law requires virtually all employers — including those with just one employee — to carry workers' compensation insurance. Failure to carry required coverage is a criminal offense and can result in fines, stop-work orders, and personal liability for any work-related injuries that occur. Sole proprietors and certain independent contractors may be exempt under specific conditions, but if you have any employees on payroll, coverage is mandatory.

What types of businesses does EMPLOYERS specialize in?

EMPLOYERS focuses on small businesses in low-to-medium hazard industries. They have particular depth in food service and hospitality — restaurants, hotels, bars, catering, and similar operations — as well as retail, personal care services, professional offices, healthcare clinics, childcare, cleaning services, and more. They are generally not the right fit for heavy construction, logging, or high-hazard manufacturing. Our agents can quickly assess whether your operation falls within EMPLOYERS' appetite.

What is PrecisePay and how does it help my business?

PrecisePay is EMPLOYERS' pay-as-you-go billing program that ties your workers' comp premium to your actual payroll each period rather than requiring a large upfront deposit or lump-sum payment. For small businesses with variable staffing levels — especially restaurants and retail — this means your premiums accurately reflect your actual workforce at any given time. It also eliminates the risk of a large audit adjustment at the end of the policy year. PrecisePay integrates with many common payroll providers.

How does EMPLOYERS' claims process work?

EMPLOYERS provides an employer reporting hotline as well as an injured worker hotline to facilitate prompt reporting and treatment. Their managed care network directs injured employees to participating medical providers who understand the workers' comp system, which helps control costs and speeds recovery timelines. The EACCESS online portal lets you manage your policy, report claims, and review claim status at any time. Oakview Insurance Services can also help you navigate any issues that come up during the claims process.

How is workers' comp premium calculated for my business?

Workers' compensation premiums are calculated based on your payroll amount, the job classifications of your employees (each class has an assigned rate reflecting its relative risk), and your claims history (expressed as an experience modifier or e-mod once your business has sufficient claims data). Higher-risk job duties carry higher rates. Misclassifying employees — either intentionally or by accident — is a common and costly mistake. Our agents work with you to ensure accurate classification from the start.

Can Oakview Insurance Services help if I already have workers' comp through another carrier?

Absolutely. We can review your existing policy, check that your classifications are accurate, and get you a competitive quote from EMPLOYERS at your next renewal. Many businesses we work with discover they were misclassified, over-paying for coverage, or missing out on credits available under a different carrier's program. There is no cost or obligation to get a comparison quote — call us at (530) 674-5054 or submit your information through our quote form.

Does workers' comp cover injuries that happen away from my place of business?

California workers' compensation generally covers injuries that occur in the course and scope of employment — which can include off-site locations. A delivery driver injured while making a run, a catering employee hurt at an event venue, or a service technician injured at a client's location would typically be covered. However, commuting to and from work is generally not covered, and injuries sustained during non-work activities are excluded. Specific scenarios can be nuanced; contact our office to discuss your situation.
