Worker's Comp Administration

Workers’ compensation isn’t just insurance—it’s a legal requirement in California and a critical part of protecting your employees and your business. At Sprout & Vine HR Strategies, we manage the administration side so you can stay focused on operations, confident that you’re covered and compliant.

What we do

Coverage Verification – Ensure active workers’ comp policies are in place with licensed carriers.
Certificates of Insurance – Maintain up-to-date certificates for audits, clients, and contractors.
Claims Management – Coordinate employee claim forms (DWC-1) and reporting with insurers.
Audit Support – Manage premium audits by verifying payroll classifications and wage data.
Employer Notices – Post required workers’ compensation rights in the workplace and provide new hire pamphlets.

Compliance we build in:

Labor Code §§3700–3702 – Requires all employers to secure workers’ compensation coverage.
Labor Code §§3550–3551 – Mandates workplace postings and employee pamphlets.
Labor Code §§5400–5401 – Requires employers to provide claim forms within one business day of injury notice.
Labor Code §132a – Prohibits retaliation against employees for filing a workers’ comp claim.

We integrate these requirements into your HR and payroll processes so coverage and compliance happen automatically—and we adjust your setup whenever the laws or policies change.

Make it yours

Every business has different workers’ comp needs. Some want full administration with claims management and audits, while others just need help keeping policies current and certificates organized. With Sprout & Vine, you can choose the level of support that fits your team:

Add workers’ comp administration as part of an HR package, so it’s managed alongside payroll, onboarding, and compliance.
Select it as an à la carte service if you already have payroll but need better coverage, audit prep, or claims handling.
Combine it with safety training and SOP development to reduce risks and lower premiums over time.

No matter how you structure it, we make sure your workers’ comp program is compliant, efficient, and aligned with your overall HR strategy.
