Workers Compensation Insurance Program
Protect Your Business and Employees with Workers Compensation Insurance
As an Oregon business owner, you know Workers Compensation Insurance is mandatory under Oregon State law. At Bancorp Insurance, we offer workers compensation insurance programs designed to meet your business needs and save money on this essential business cost.
If an employee of yours has a claim and you do not have the appropriate Workers Compensation Insurance, you will have to pay the cost associated with the health services and rehabilitation of that employee. Health cost can range between $100-$100,000. If the State of Oregon finds out your employee was injured on the job and you were operating without Workers Compensation Insurance, you may be fined around $3,000 per occurrence.

The state of Oregon requires most all employers to carry workers compensation insurance for their employees. An employee can be defined by the state in the following four ways:
- Do you have the right to direct or control a worker?
- How is the worker paid?
- Who supplies the tools for the job?
- Can you fire the worker with a breach of contract?
How you answer these questions matters, a simple yes or no does not determine your status as an employer. At Bancorp Insurance, we help Oregon business owners find the right workers’ compensation plan for their business. If you are unsure whether or not you are considered an employer, contact a member of our staff. We’ll be happy to help.
