Worker's Compensation and Out-of-State Employer Requirements

Out-of-state employers with employees working in Wisconsin must have a worker's compensation policy with an insurance company licensed to write worker's compensation insurance in Wisconsin.

The policy must show Wisconsin as a covered state in section 3-A of the declarations page. If an out-of-state employer has a worker's compensation insurance policy, they may simply add Wisconsin to their current coverage.

Out of state employers must obtain a policy from a Wisconsin licensed insurance company when they have employees working in Wisconsin. The insurance company is responsible for filing the policy with the Wisconsin Compensation Rating Bureau.
