Manufacturing Workers' Compensation Insurance

Overview of the Program From Monarch Partners Group

MPG’s Manufacturing Workers' Compensation Insurance Program is built for manufacturers who struggle to secure coverage in traditional markets—including accounts with elevated experience mods, adverse loss histories, or high-rate class codes. A signature feature is the Payroll Opt-out Work Comp Program (POWC), which lets qualifying risks retain their own payroll and tax operations while accessing MPG’s master policy pricing and services.

Ideal Accounts and Appetite

This program is a fit when you’re placing:

• Mid-size to large manufacturers targeting $50,000+ in annual premium
• Accounts with high-debit Xmods or a history of claims
• Risks with higher-cost manufacturing class codes
• Clients who need flexible payroll solutions or pay-as-you-go billing
• New ventures or accounts returning after a lapse in coverage

Example: you might have a manufacturer with a $100,000 projected premium and an Xmod of 1.5 that traditional carriers are declining. MPG’s program — especially the POWC structure — can often provide competitive placement where admitted markets fall short.

Coverage Highlights and Advantages

MPG’s manufacturing program gives agents access to features that help place difficult risks:

• Placement with “A”-rated carriers where available
• Broad class code acceptance and nationwide availability
• Payroll Opt-out (POWC) structure for clients who want to keep payroll and tax control
• Pay-as-you-go premium options to improve client cash flow
• Both guaranteed cost and deductible plan structures
• No automatic Xmod or loss ratio exclusions—cases are reviewed on their merits
• Support for mid-term placements and new business startups
• Optional bundled services such as HR tools and payroll processing

With POWC, larger employers can issue payroll from their own accounts and minimize employee paperwork while benefiting from MPG’s master policy rates and loss-control resources.

Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums

Minimum premium for the POWC structure is $100,000. Typical submission requirements include:

• Completed ACORD 130
• Three years of currently valued loss runs
• Current policy declarations or applicable PEO rates
• Experience mod worksheet (Xmod)
• Any relevant supplemental information (safety programs, return-to-work policies, etc.)

Underwriting is case-by-case. MPG’s team reviews large or complex manufacturing risks with a flexible approach—provide complete submissions to speed quoting.

Territories and Availability

MPG’s Manufacturing Workers’ Compensation Program is available nationwide, including all 50 states and DC. Coverage availability and admitted/non-admitted placement can vary by state and case characteristics; discuss specific state requirements with your MPG market specialist.
