Workers' Compensation Insurance Program
Your workers’ compensation liability policy covers your employees for lost wages and expenses in the event of a covered work-related claim. However, most workers’ comp policies are essentially the same, leaving you with:
Limited program options
Workers’ compensation insurance programs are often the same across all types of businesses. Programs have not been tailored to the specific needs of credit unions. By continuing to use these programs, you may not effectively address your credit union’s needs.
Policies failing to cover key personnel
Some workers’ compensation policies fail to cover key credit union roles—like volunteer board members and security guards. Without coverage for these critical roles, you might be left with unnecessary risk exposure.
Lump-sum premiums and year-end adjustments
Traditionally, workers’ compensation premiums are paid annually in a lump sum based on an estimate of your payroll. If you underestimate your payroll for the year, you could face a significant end-of-year adjustment. This can end up impacting your credit union’s cash flow.
The Workers’ Compensation Insurance Program from CUNA Mutual Group leverages group buying power to deliver credit union-specific benefits that would otherwise be unavailable to individual credit unions.
Benefits of joining the CUNA Mutual Group Workers’ Compensation Insurance Program
Exclusive pricing, dividends and loss-control programs
The Workers’ Compensation Insurance Program stands out from other programs. Pricing is exclusive to the credit union group, who are eligible for group dividends throughout the life of the policy based on the group’s loss ratio. We can help reduce the group’s loss ratio with programs and recommendations based on the claim history of the group. These exclusive offerings can help make your credit union safer and more efficient.
Coverage for key credit union roles
The Workers’ Compensation Insurance Program offers explicit coverage for key roles in your credit union, including volunteer board members and both armed and unarmed security guards. We help to protect those roles your credit union depends on for its operation and success (where available).*
Flexible options for improved cash flow
With our payroll billing program, you can pay your workers’ compensation premium monthly, based on your actual payroll. Implementation of our payroll billing does not require your credit union’s IT support. You can activate it quickly and easily. It eliminates surprises that can come with an end-of-year audit adjustment with manageable monthly payments.
