Workers Compensation for the Entertainment Industry is a particular challenge. State law usually mandates any form of production obtain worker's compensation insurance for anyone paid to work on the production. If a production shoots in multiple states, things can get complicated quickly. New Empire has Worker's Compensation markets available in all 50 states and we can get complex workers compensation policies quoted and bound quickly and efficiently.

Many times a production will use a payroll service company to pay production staff. Usually the payroll service company will handle the workers compensation insurance. If a production pays their production staff via a payroll service company, and the payroll company provides workers compensation coverage, the production company STILL may want to consider a backup worker's compensation policy. This would cover them in situations not covered by the payroll service company, an unpaid extra for example.
