Almost every workers’ compensation customer, regardless of how they run payroll, can enroll in our payroll billing option.
Payroll billing relies on real-time payroll to calculate workers’ compensation premiums. This means premiums are more accurate compared to using estimated annual payroll.
Customers who elect payroll will appreciate these cash flow benefits:
- NO down payments
- NO monthly billing or finance fees
- FEWER premium audit adjustments
Agents also benefit with a policy retention rate that’s, on average, 3 points higher with payroll billing vs those without it.1
