Why is it important to register my business with the WSCC?

Under the Workers’ Compensation Act(s), employers are legally required to register with us. The WSCC provides a form of collective liability, which means all employers within an industry subclass share the risk. Registering and paying assessments is a legislated requirement for all businesses. The WSCC protects your company against lawsuits from injured workers. If a worker is injured or contracts an occupational disease while on the job, the WSCC covers the worker’s medical and wage-loss costs.
