Workers Compensation Insurance and Payroll: Working Together for California Businesses

Pleasanton, CA (PRWeb) January 26, 2007 -- E-chx, Inc has partnered with EMPLOYERS and Granite Insurance Brokers to create the new E-COMP program. This strategic partnership enables California businesses to conveniently manage workers' compensation insurance coverage in conjunction with their payroll.

The new E-COMP partnership can simplify the process of managing payroll and workers' compensation coverage, helping businesses by easing administrative tasks and freeing businesspeople to focus on what they do best. Combining payroll and workers' comp services can lead to a seamless and automatic electronic payment, with no deposits or down payments required, and premiums are calculated on actual payrolls, with no on-site or physical audit required, unless state-mandated.

Patrick Ryan, National Sales Director for E-chx commented, "We are very excited about the E-COMP program with EMPLOYERS and Granite Insurance Brokers. This relationship enables us to provide a solution that allows clients to avoid the hassle of audit adjustments, improve their cash flow and make accurate payments based on their payroll. E-chx strives to offer programs that save businesses time and money and the E-COMP program directly aligns with our strategy."

E-COMP is available through Employers Compensation Insurance Company and can be accessed via E-chx representatives throughout California, who refer interested parties to Granite Insurance Brokers, the exclusive brokers for the program. A dedicated in-house E-COMP Program Director is available, by calling (888) 49 E-Comp or (888) 493-2667.
