Can the Employer Charge the Employees for Providing Florida Workers’ Compensation Coverage?
Any agreement by an employee is invalid and unenforceable if the employee agrees to pay any portion of premium paid by her or his employer to a workers’ compensation insurance carrier or to contribute to a benefit fund or department maintained by the employer for the purpose of providing workers’ compensation or medical services and supplies as required by Florida’s workers’ compensation Act. Likewise, any pre-injury agreement by an employee to waive her or his right to compensation under Florida’s workers’ compensation Act is invalid.
