Maine Workers' Compensation
Maine is known for its amazing beaches, over 60 lighthouses, and of course the delicious Main Lobster. However, The Pine Tree State offers much more and is home to many small businesses and large corporate headquarters.
Maine’s business industry has really grown in recent years. The state is known for vast forests, rolling mountains, and scenic waterways. Major industries in Maine include agriculture, fisheries, shipbuilding, health care, and tourism. Support Enforcement & Recovery, Mainehealth, L.L. Bean, Idexx Laboratories, and Hannaford Supermarkets are all headquartered in Maine.
Small businesses in Maine employ more than 293,000 people. This accounts for 57% of the state’s private workforce, and with more than 22,600 workplace injuries and 20 fatalities across all industries in 2019, small businesses need to make sure they have workers; compensation insurance coverage.
Large businesses in Maine also self-insure and set aside funds that are dedicated to workers’ comp. Zenployers is a perfect match for this as well.
