EMPLOYERS®
partners with Intego
Insurance Services to ease workers’ compensation insurance and payroll processes
for U.S. small businesses
October
31, 2007—RENO, Nev.—EMPLOYERS® (NYSE:EIG),
a
leading provider of workers’ compensation insurance, today announced a new
partnership with Intego Insurance Services. Intego is a distributor of payroll
deduction workers’ compensation insurance products from the nation’s best
insurance companies. The new partnership will allow EMPLOYERS and Intego to
ease
paperwork and cash flow burdens small businesses face as they cope with
insurance payments and payrolls.
The
new
partnership will allow small businesses to benefit from both the workers’
compensation insurance expertise of EMPLOYERS and Intego’s integrated payroll
solution, SMARTCOMPSM. Beginning
December
1, these integrated services will be available to small businesses in Texas,
Florida and Illinois. In 2008, both EMPLOYERS and Intego will continue to look
for ways to expand their partnership.
The
new
partnership will take the guesswork out of workers’ compensation insurance
premiums, which are often calculated based on fluctuating payrolls. Through
the
EMPLOYERS/Intego partnership, policyholders can have payments automatically
deducted during scheduled payroll runs through their regular payroll providers.
This simplified process can increase policyholders’ ease of doing business,
avoid year-end audit surprises, and help small businesses run smoother and
more
profitably.
David
Quezada, President, EMPLOYERS Strategic Markets Region, said the company’s
partnership with Intego presents the opportunity for small businesses to benefit
from both the insurance expertise of EMPLOYERS, and from advanced payroll
technology available through Intego. “This partnership presents an unsurpassed
opportunity for EMPLOYERS to benefit from both a highly sophisticated, efficient
platform, and from the positive impact this technology will offer to small
businesses in Texas, Florida and Illinois,” he said.
Intego
CEO Robert McBurney agreed, saying, “Our partnership in these three growth
states will allow us to work with payroll service providers to take the
guesswork out of premium development and payroll processes. The Intego SMARTCOMP
program will bolster both EMPLOYERS and our own ability to serve small
businesses by easing their paperwork and providing them with a consistent
payment strategy.”

headquartered in Reno, Nev., and provides workers’ compensation insurance and
services to small U.S. businesses in states coast to coast. Find your local
