Workers’ compensation is often a staffing company’s greatest expense, as well as the greatest opportunity to control premium drivers, especially for any staffing company conducting business in the state California. If there was a Scoville scale for states when it comes to workers’ compensation, California would be a Ghost Pepper. Over 50% of our policy holders do business in California; and these are staffing companies from across the country – not just in California.
