Did you know? An employer needs workers’ compensation coverage for any employee it hires, even if it’s just one employee, and even if it’s just temporary employment.
Does this Apply to Out of State Employers?
Yes. Out-of-state employers may need workers’ compensation coverage if an employee is regularly employed in California or a contract of employment is entered into in California.
