PayGo 101
PayGo is a simple and efficient way to pay for Workers’ Comp coverage. Payments are based on actual payrolls instead of estimates for the policy term
Audit pain and surprises are reduced as payments are calculated solely on reported payrolls. If employees are properly classified you’ll increase the accuracy of your premium payments and could reduce credit risk.
Payments are generated as payroll is reported, spreading payments throughout the year and eliminating large, beginning of term payments
Coverage and rates are the same as traditional payment plans, however, using a PayGo solution yields better cash flow and predictability of premiums as it accounts for seasonality and payroll variances
With PayGo there are no checks to write and no payments to remember so you can spend more time focused on your business
Easy set-up, payments based on actual payrolls, and fewer audit surprises are why more businesses choose PayGo. It just makes sense!
