Is workers’ compensation required for bakeries?

Yes! If you have staff, workers’ comp is required in most states: 

  • Covers injuries like burns, cuts, or repetitive strain from baking equipment and long hours. 
  • Ensures compliance with state laws and helps prevent costly lawsuits. 
  • Premiums depend on your number of employees and payroll. 

Gild helps you meet legal requirements and underwrite the right workers’ comp so your team—and your business—stays protected.
