Maryland Workers' Compensation
Maryland is known for its for its gorgeous cost line, many state parks, and waterfalls flowing into rivers. However, the Old Line State offers much more, and is known for its many small businesses and corporate headquarters.
Maryland’s business industry has been on the rise the past few years. The state is knowing for its many places to fish, catching blue crab, and all the vastly different landscapes all packed into one state. Major Maryland industries include agriculture, fishing, manufacturing, biotechnology, tourism, mining, and cybersecurity. Marriott International, Lockheed Martin, Social Security Administration, Laureate Education, and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel chain are all headquartered in Maryland.
Small businesses in Maryland employ more than 1.1 million people. This accounts for 50% of the state’s private workforce, and with more than 65,900 workplace injuries and 97 fatalities across all industries in 2018, small businesses need to make sure they have workers’ compensation insurance coverage.
Large businesses in Maryland also self-insure and set aside funds that are dedicated to workers’ comp. Zenployers is a perfect match for this as well.
