Workers Compensation

Workers Compensation insurance is a state-required policy that provides benefits to employees who are injured or become ill while performing job-related duties. It covers medical treatment, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and disability benefits. In the cannabis industry, this coverage is particularly important due to the physical nature of some roles, such as cultivation, packaging, and delivery operations. In many states, cannabis businesses are required to classify all employees as W-2 employees rather than independent contractors.
