Workers’ compensation insurance in Broward County

Florida workers’ compensation rules depend on the type of business and workforce. Our team can help you discuss coverage needs and gather details about employees, payroll, job duties, and subcontractors.

This page is general information, not legal advice. Confirm current requirements and exemptions with Florida’s Division of Workers’ Compensation.

Understand the starting points

Florida’s employer guidance describes broad employee-count thresholds, with separate rules and exceptions that can affect a specific business.

Non-construction employers

Florida generally requires coverage for non-construction employers with four or more employees, including full-time and part-time workers. Exceptions and special situations may apply.

Construction employers

Construction employers generally must carry coverage when they have one or more employees, including full-time and part-time workers. Rules also address subcontractor compliance.

Confirm your situation

Business classification, ownership, exemptions, subcontractors, and other details matter. Review official state guidance and speak with the appropriate state office or legal adviser about compliance.

What to gather for a workers’ compensation discussion

Start with your name, phone and ZIP to request a callback. For a quote review, have your business activity, full-time and part-time employee counts, estimated annual payroll by job type, work locations, subcontractor details, and renewal or requested start date ready. If available, keep your current policy and loss history for follow-up. You do not need all of these details to start.

Common questions

How many employees trigger a requirement in Florida?

The state’s general guidance says four or more employees for most non-construction businesses and one or more for construction businesses, counting full-time and part-time employees. Exceptions and details matter; verify your situation with the state.

Can this website determine whether my business is exempt?

No. An exemption concerns an eligible owner's own coverage and does not automatically exempt the business's employees. Our form starts an insurance conversation; confirm exemption eligibility and employee requirements with Florida's Division of Workers' Compensation.
