I'm not sure my employer has workers' compensation insurance. How do I find out?

Call us. We can help track this down. Every employer is required to advise the Industrial Commission of this although many do not. Smaller companies are prone to skipping this and certain business types like construction, home health agencies, and small trucking companies seem to neglect this as well. By law they are all required to keep that information posted where all employees can see it regularly. Any employer who has three or more employees regularly working is required to carry workers compensation insurance.

If you’re employer is making it difficult to find out who their carrier is you may well have a problem on your hands. It certainly suggests that they aren’t keen on complying with North Carolina law. And that makes your situation all the more precarious.
