Trending: Opting-Out of Workers' Compensation
.
.
Opting-out of workers' compensation
coverage is now a significant national
trend. The opt outs are both through
a legitimate elective process and
a de-facto scheme.
.
The opt-out process arose through
a legislative process over a decade ago
when Massachusetts legislation permitted
the option to elect out of the mandatory
workers' compensation system. Since then
it has grown through both legitimate and
illegitimate expansion. Some legislators
have proposed that religious
organizations should now be permitted to
not obtain coverage.
.
In March the expanding trend to opt-out
of the workers' compensation system took
a major leap as large employers began to
leave the system and offer less benefits
to injured workers. Walmart, one of the
largest employers in Texas has made the
election to leave the system. Within the
last two years other large employers have
exited the system, including Target,
seeking to reduce costs through a private
non-workers' compensation plan.
