Slip & Fall Injuries
Customer spills, wet floors near entrances, and uneven surfaces make slips the most common workers comp claim in retail environments.
Lifting & Stocking Injuries
Stocking shelves, receiving deliveries, and moving merchandise causes back strains that are among the costliest retail claims.
Robbery & Assault
Retail workers face elevated risk of workplace violence, particularly in cash-handling positions and late-night shifts.
Repetitive Motion
Cashiers, stockers, and sales associates develop wrist, shoulder, and back injuries from repetitive scanning, lifting, and standing.
Parking Lot Incidents
Cart retrieval, delivery receiving, and employee commuting in parking areas create vehicle and slip hazards.
Falling Objects
Improperly stacked merchandise, shelving failures, and overhead storage create struck-by hazards for retail workers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is workers comp required for retail stores in Florida?
Florida requires workers' comp for non-construction employers with 4 or more employees. Most retail stores reach this threshold quickly. Even with fewer employees, coverage protects you from potentially business-ending injury claims.
How does pay-as-you-go workers comp help retail businesses?
Retail staffing fluctuates with seasons, holidays, and promotions. Pay-as-you-go calculates your premium on actual payroll each week — so you don't overpay during slow periods or face a large audit bill after the holiday rush.
Can I get workers comp for part-time retail employees?
Yes. Our PEO program covers full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees. Premium is calculated on actual wages paid, so part-time workers cost proportionally less to cover.
What happens if a customer injures a retail employee?
Workers comp covers employee injuries regardless of fault — including incidents caused by customers. This is separate from your general liability policy, which covers customer injuries.
How fast can I get a COI for a retail lease?
Same day in most cases. Commercial landlords almost always require proof of workers comp as part of your lease agreement. We can issue your Certificate of Insurance within hours of approval.
