Workers Compensation
Workers' compensation (WC) is required by companies with multiple employees (not necessarily contractors). The minimum number of employees may vary from state to state. Employers must provide an injured employee with reporting information within 24 hours of when they report an on-the-job injury (not the same as when the accident occurred – so don’t drop the ball and get into trouble here!). The federal government has overarching authority over WC laws, but States administer local WC programs where private business is concerned. Find your state here to learn your requirements and rules.
