Workers' Compensation Solutions for Professional Employer Organizations
Amwins Specialty Casualty Solutions (ASCS), part of the Amwins Underwriting division, administers a dedicated workers’ compensation program for Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs). As a program administrator, Amwins Underwriting combines specialized underwriting, a client-facing portal, and broad capacity to help retail agents place complex PEO payroll portfolios.
Overview of the Program
This program is built for PEOs and the retail agents who serve them. It provides a full-service solution that emphasizes underwriting discipline for hazardous and mixed-class payrolls, operational transparency through a client portal, and nationwide capacity. You can learn more about program details on Amwins’ PEO product page: workers' compensation coverage for PEOs.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
Target PEO clients and accounts with mixed-class payrolls across Hazard 1–8 and NCCI Hazard Grade A–F.
Clients that require consolidated policy, payroll and claims reporting on a portal.
Large or complex PEO aggregations where underwriting discipline and claims oversight are important.
Agents who specialize in PEO business and can provide thorough payroll and loss history data.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
Client Portal — secure access to policy details, client rosters, payroll submission, premium reporting and claims information to simplify administration and audit.
Program administration by Amwins Underwriting — specialized PEO underwriting and policy servicing designed for multi-client payrolls.
Flexible handling of mixed classes and higher-hazard exposures common to PEO portfolios.
Partnering with specialty PEO retail agents — the program is structured to work with agents familiar with PEO operations and reporting.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premium
Amwins Underwriting evaluates submissions based on the PEO’s client mix, payroll detail by class, and loss history. The program typically requires comprehensive payroll and claims data at submission. The program’s stated minimum premium is $500,000, so it is positioned for larger PEO portfolios or aggregated business that can meet that threshold.
Territories and Availability
The program provides coverage nationwide and is available across all states and D.C. (AL, AK, AZ, AR, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, DC, WV, WI, WY).

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of PEO clients are a good fit for this program?PEOs with larger aggregated payrolls or portfolios that include mixed or higher-hazard classes (Hazard 1–8; NCCI Hazard Grade A–F) are a strong fit. The program is geared toward accounts that can meet the $500,000 minimum premium and provide detailed payroll and loss information.
How should agents submit business to Amwins Underwriting?Submissions should come from retail agents experienced with PEOs and include client rosters, payroll by class, detailed loss runs, and any current billing or audit procedures. Amwins Underwriting expects thorough data to evaluate blended-class exposures effectively.
What does the client portal provide?The portal gives agents and their PEO clients access to policy documents, client-level payroll reporting, premium and audit information, and claim tracking. It is designed to centralize administration for multi-client PEO policies.
Are there common account characteristics that will be declined?Accounts with inadequate payroll detail, poor loss history without a credible remediation plan, or exposures outside the program’s target hazard grades are likely to be declined. Extremely high-risk or prohibited classes may not fit the program’s appetite.
