2024 Workers’ Compensation Payroll Audit Forms
Look for the customized 2024 Workers’ Compensation Payroll Audit Forms which were mailed to every church on January 3, 2024 by AmTrust Financial. The audit covers 2024 payroll for both church and church-controlled nursery school workers. Completed audits are due February 1, 2025.
Completed audits are to be sent directly to Sovereign Insurance, not to GNJ. Insurance certificates showing coverage for the entire audit period for workers covered by their own WC insurance must be included with the audit submission (do not submit the Master Certificate of Insurance for your church for this purpose). The audit must be completed on the mailed form. Audit submission through AmTrust Financial’s website is not allowed.
All questions regarding the audit should via email to info@sovinsurance.com, please reference UMC of Greater New Jersey; questions regarding housing should be directed to Alexa Taylor, Insurance and Benefits Manager, 732-359-1038.
Workers Compensation (WC) insurance is required by law by the States of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania and is part of Greater New Jersey’s property insurance program. This insurance covers employees (full and/or part-time workers who receive compensation in any form for the job they do for the church), for injuries sustained while performing their duties.
Church employees, and certain other workers (for whom “payroll” is reported) are covered by the church policy. Churches are required to submit certificates of WC insurance for any contractor (such as lawn service) whose payroll is not reported on the audit form. Volunteers are not covered under workers’ compensation insurance.
