You’re Doing Great Things. Don’t Let a Workers’ Comp Audit Be Your Weak Link.

You fight for change.
​We fight misclassification.

Let’s get real. You didn’t launch a nonprofit or become a B Corp to drown in insurance code spreadsheets or argue about whether your outreach coordinator is “clerical” or “field.” 

But here’s the thing: workers’ comp (WC, for short) mistakes can cost you thousands, even when you think everything is buttoned up. Most organizations don’t realize there’s a problem until the insurance carrier’s audit lands like a surprise inspection - with a bill. 

At Blue Fox, we flip the script. We do proactive, employer-first workers’ comp audits that catch issues before the carrier does. (And trust us - they usually find something.) ​

🚨 True story: You could already be overpaying for workers’ compensation insurance.

Here are some hard-to-swallow stats:

  • 40% of WC audits result in additional premium charges

  • A single misclassified employee can increase your rate by 30%

  • And nonprofits often overreport payroll or miscategorize hybrid roles like “volunteer coordinators” or “program managers”

The result is that your organization ends up spending its valuable dollars on unnecessary insurance expenses instead of mission-driven work.

😱 Free Tip of the Day: Here are Some Common WC Traps for Social Impact Orgs

  • Classifying part-time office staff as field workers

  • Not excluding executive directors from coverage properly

  • Missing COIs from freelance videographers, photographers, and consultants

  • Reporting volunteer stipends as payroll (yep, that happens)


If you have no idea what any of the above really means, your organization may already be at risk of overpaying for WC insurance!
 
🤓 What We Actually Do to Help You (in Plain English)

We’re not here to shuffle paper or upsell you – we’re here to save you money. Here’s what a Blue Fox workers’ comp audit actually includes:

✅  Review of job classifications using real codes (NCCI/NAICS - not guesswork)
✅  Payroll + premium reconciliation (hello, savings)
✅  Subcontractor/1099 insurance verification (because missing certificates of insuarnce = scary bills)
✅  Risk flags + refund opportunities
✅  All delivered with clarity, not compliance jargon

💸 Cost of Our Proactive WC Audit vs. Cost of the Surprise

A Blue Fox WC audit starts at $1,500. But one client got $12,000 refunded after we found three years of misclassified payroll. Others avoided audits altogether because we prepped their data for insurance carriers in advance.

In other words: We save your impact mission from unnecessary financial hits.
