Florida Workers’ Comp and Exemption
If you are a business owner in Florida, you may be required to have Workers’ Compensation Coverage. Coverage requirements depend on your industry, the number of employees, and the business entity you have set up. Who needs Workers’ Compensation Coverage? Read more from FAQs.
In Florida you may be able to file for an exemption from this coverage. The purpose of filing an exemption is for an officer of a corporation or member of a limited liability company to exclude themselves from the workers’ compensation laws. For more information about eligibility and requirements, please refer to the Division of Workers’ Compensation website.
Remember that these exemptions are good for two years and have to be renewed or they expire. If expired you could owe back workers’ comp premiums.
IMPORTANT
The Florida Legislature passed, and the Governor signed into law, HB 959 amending the requirements for exemption holders. Effective January 1, 2023, exemption applicants are required to certify that the officer electing an exemption has completed an online workers’ compensation coverage and compliance tutorial prior to completing the exemption application.
