| Description: |
Every employer employing one or more Oregon subject workers must provide workers' compensation insurance coverage obtained from an insurance company or through registered self-insurance. A filing of the coverage must be made with the Department of Consumer & Business Services, Workers' Compensation Division. The insurer makes this filing for the employer once insurance coverage is obtained. Employers buy workers' compensation insurance much like they buy car or home owners insurance. |
