Save Big on Workers Comp for Gig Drivers
Real-World Examples and Data
In California, for instance, Proposition 22 requires that app-based drivers receive certain benefits, including healthcare subsidies and accident insurance, which can include workers' comp-like benefits1. This legislation highlights a growing trend toward providing gig workers with more comprehensive benefits.
According to a report by the National Council on Compensation Insurance, the average cost of workers' comp insurance varies widely by state and industry, but for transportation, it can range from $0.75 to $2.25 per $100 of payroll2. By understanding these averages, gig drivers can better assess what constitutes a competitive rate.
