The Florida Nursery, Growers, and Landscape Association (FNGLA) has endorsed a workers’ compensation insurance program for their members. Under the program, eligible FNGLA members may qualify for special benefits on their workers’ compensation policy through Summit’s family of insurance carriers. Click on the image to the right to be redirected to the FNGLA website to read the brochure announcing their endorsement of the workers’ compensation program.

FNGLA members must sign a safety pledge in which they commit to the implementation and continuation of a strong safety program as outlined by bullet points in the pledge. In addition to qualifying for the safety credit available in Florida that removes 2% of the workers’ compensation premium, these landscaping businesses are also eligible for additional benefits that can significantly reduce their premium. The goal of committing to a strong safety program is that it will decrease the experience modification factor of the landscaping business over time and directly reduce future premiums. The program also allows the landscaping business to qualify for a special dividend plan created for FNGLA members. Depending on your workers’ compensation claims, this program can save a large percentage of your premium each year. As we discussed before, dividend plans can be very beneficial to landscaping businesses since the majority of insurance premium spent will go to workers’ compensation insurance over other lines of coverage.

If you are a member of FNGLA and are interested in receiving a workers compensation quote through this program designed exclusively for your landscaping company, then please do not hesitate to contact our office or request a quote through our easy online form.
