About CAOM

CAOM is a private, non-profit association of insurance companies that write workers’ compensation insurance in Michigan. CAOM collects, processes and analyzes worker’s compensation policy and claim data for member companies and state regulators. CAOM’s sister organization, the Michigan Workers’ Compensation Placement Facility, processes worker’s compensation coverage applications for businesses that are unable to get coverage by ordinary means due to high claim activity, high risk operations, or other reasons. Established by state statute in 1983 and funded by its member insurance carriers, CAOM is the sole organization responsible for these duties in Michigan, resulting in a uniquely stable work environment regardless of economic fluctuation. CAOM’s small number of employees (less than 35) provide a family-like atmosphere and are consistently recognized for outstanding customer service.

CAOM is an equal opportunity employer, offering active full-time employees a highly competitive benefit package, including but not limited to, paid time off, paid personal time, paid holidays, insurance (medical, dental, vision, life), a company-sponsored retirement plan, training, and educational opportunities. Once respective seasoning requirements are met, new hires are eligible for these benefits and any other benefits CAOM may adopt. Telecommuting from home three days a week is available to eligible employees as a flexible work option.
