Employers

Registration

Employers that fall within an extra-hazardous industry are required to obtain Workers’ Compensation coverage through the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services prior to conducting business or engaging in work in this state. If your business is not extra-hazardous and deemed optional, you may still elect Workers’ Compensation coverage. In order to ensure coverage, you are required to create an account through our online system (WYUI.wyo.gov). Once registered, the Agency will determine which type of coverage is required based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Please note: The account created in WYUI.wyo.gov may serve as your joint account for both Unemployment Insurance tax-related filings (if applicable) and Workers’ Compensation premium filings (if applicable).

If you are unsure whether or not you need to register for Workers’ Compensation, please contact Employer Services at (307) 777-6763 or email DWS-wcemployerservices@wyo.gov.

For helping employer information, please view the Guide to Workers’ Compensation for Employers.
