North Carolina Workers' Compensation
North Carolina is known for its wonder coastline on the east side, beautiful mountains on the west side and everything in between. However, the Old North State offers much more and is known for its many small businesses and corporate headquarters.
North Carolina’s small business industry had been on a strong climb in the past few years. The state is known for the Outer Banks, Nascar Hall of Fame, North Carolina Museum of Arts, and the Biltmore Estate. Major industries in North Carolina include aerospace, automotive, biotechnology, business services, and energy. Compass Group USA, Lowe’s, Bank of America, Total, and Advance Auto Parts all have their corporate headquarters in North Carolina.
Small businesses in North Carolina employ more than 1.6 million people. That accounts for 44% of the state’s private workforce, and with 93,000 workplace injuries and with 178 fatalities across all industries in 2018, small businesses need to make sure they have workers’ compensation coverage.
Large businesses in North Carolina also self-insure and set aside funds that are dedicated to workers’ comp. Zenployers is a perfect match for this as well.
