Workers’ Compensation Coverage Made Simple

Starting or running a business in Wyoming? The Wyoming Department of Workforce Services (DWS) helps employers get the right Workers’ Compensation coverage—clearly, quickly, and with support when you need it.

Do You Need Coverage?

If your business is in an extra-hazardous industry, Workers’ Compensation coverage through DWS is required before work begins in Wyoming. Coverage is based on your business activity and determined using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

If your business is optional, you may still choose coverage to help protect your employees and your business.

Register Online

To get started, create an employer account at WYUI.wyo.gov. DWS will review your information and confirm the coverage your business needs.

One account may cover both:

  • Unemployment Insurance tax filings (if applicable)

Claims Information

Employers can easily view Workers’ Compensation claim information for their employees through the Provider, Injured Worker, Employer Resource System (PIERS).

PIERS provides access to:

  • Billing status
  • Payment information
  • Benefit information

This secure system helps employers stay informed and manage claims with confidence.

Workers’ Compensation Base Rates

Workers’ Compensation premium rates are based on your business classification under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Classifications and the rates tied to them are determined after your employer registration is submitted through WYUI.wyo.gov. Once your information is reviewed, DWS will assign the appropriate classification to ensure your coverage and rates are accurate.

If you have questions about claims access or how rates are determined, DWS is here to help.
