Get your business covered by Zenployers in the Pelican State
Louisiana Workers' Compensation
Louisiana is known for the world-famous Mardi Gras festival, amazing Cajun dishes, and that wonderful southern hospitality. However, the Pelican State offers much more, and is known for its many small businesses and corporate headquarters.
Louisiana’s business industry has been on the steady rise over the past few years. The state is known for its friendly people, many festivals and wonderful seafood dishes. Major Louisiana industries include oil, natural gas, commercial fishing, chemical shipping, and agriculture. Century Link, Community Coffee, Copeland’s, Freeport-McMoRan, and Hornbeck Offshore Services all have their corporate headquarters in the state.
Small businesses in Louisiana employ more than 917,400 people. This accounts for 53% of the state’s private workforce, and with 98 fatal injuries across all industries in 2018, small businesses need to make sure they have workers’ compensation insurance coverage.
Large businesses in Louisiana also self-insure, and set aside funds that are dedicated to workers’ comp. Zenployers is a perfect match for this as well.
