Workers' compensation insurance is a no-fault insurance policy, which provides wage loss and medical benefits to workers with a job-related injury or disease. Nearly every working Idahoan is protected by workers' compensation insurance, as state law requires most employers to have workers' compensation insurance. If you are not sure whether your employer has workers' compensation insurance, ask your supervisor.
The workers' compensation law lists the few types of employers not required to have workers' compensation insurance. If your employer does not have workers' compensation insurance and you believe that you should receive workers' compensation benefits, you may contact an Idaho Industrial Commission Compensation Consultant by calling (800) 950-2110 or visiting their webiste http://www.iic.idaho.gov/ or contact our office!
If your employer is required to carry workers' compensation insurance, you are covered from your first day of work and normally every minute you are on the job.
