Employee vs Independent Contractor
Workers comp insurance covers a business’ employees. Following the guidelines of the Internal Revenue Service in the classification of workers, the states generally recognize an employee to be an individual, who is hired and paid to perform a task or service at the business owner’s or manager’s direction.
It gets dicey when it comes to independent contractors and subcontractors. State law governs the treatment of these individuals under a business’ workers compensation insurance policy. As a general rule of thumb, these workers are not considered to be a business’ employees; however, the business owner who hires these workers can be held liable for injuries that contractors, subcontractors or their employees sustain while they are doing work for the company. Covering them under the policy is good business protection. If a state does not mandate their coverage under a business’ policy, it is a good idea for the human resources manager or business owner to verify the contractor’s – or subcontractor’s – coverage under a different workers comp policy.
