Workers' Compensation
Track medical and wage benefits for employees who are injured or become sick on the job.
If an employee is injured or becomes sick on the job, workers' compensation provides benefits to help with medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation. Your state has its own regulations that you must meet as an employer to cover your employees.
Enter your rates for each code based on those regulations, and associate those codes to each job. Workers' compensation will calculate for each employee, according to the job they work. If you need to review wages and tax amounts along with employees paid from associated jobs, print a workers' compensation report.
