Florida law empowers workers’ compensation insurance carriers to conduct audits of an employer’s financial records to determine if proper premiums have been paid. Issues such as invalid exemptions, lapses in coverage, misclassified employees and borrowed employees can result in the assessment of substantial additional premiums, as well as penalties, fines and surcharges. Without the knowledge and understanding of the workers’ compensation laws, employers are left with little options other than to pay these additional premiums, penalties, fines and surcharges.

The attorneys at Druckman, Fee and Chait, P.A. understand the methodology and technicalities of premium audits and are available to assist you and your company both before and after premium audits conducted by workers’ compensation carriers.
