What will be an ideal response?


It is important for construction firms to provide worker's compensation insurance to its employees because it is required in all of the fifty states, as set forth by Worker's Compensation Acts. Worker's compensation is paid by employers based on a different multiplier for each craft times the wages earned by the workers in each craft into a government fund and it covers employees when they sustain a personal injury or contract a disease and there is a direct causal relationship between the work environment and the disease contracted by the employee.
