Only One Employee? Do You Still Need Workers' Comp? 👷
Many small business owners assume that Workers Compensation only applies to large companies or businesses with a full team.
Here is what you need to know:
- Small Team Rules: A small business shouldn't assume Workers Compensation doesn't apply simply because it has only one or two employees.
- California Law: Requirements depend on your actual employment situation and applicable state regulations.
- The 1099 Myth: Issuing a 1099 tax form does NOT automatically make a worker an Independent Contractor under California law.
Key Takeaway: Once your business starts hiring workers, Workers Compensation should be one of the first insurance requirements you review.
