EMPLOYERS Holdings: Wholesale Distribution Insurance Appetite
Employers can write workers' comp for small wholesale distributors with standard warehouse operations. The premium will depend heavily on the mix of office versus warehouse employees. For the full distribution package including property, GL, product liability, and commercial auto, use CNA or Travelers as the primary carrier. Employers works best as a specialized workers' comp component.
