**payroll-based insurance**

Payroll-based insurance refers to insurance plans and premiums calculated based on the total payroll expenses of a business. This approach is commonly used for workers’ compensation insurance and certain types of liability coverage, where the cost of the insurance is directly linked to the wages paid to employees. By using payroll as a basis, insurers can more accurately assess the risk and determine appropriate premium rates, ensuring fair pricing that reflects the size and nature of the workforce. This method also helps businesses manage insurance costs as their employee base grows or changes.
