What is required for a contractor to be compliant with Workers' Compensation?

Securing the appropriate insurance coverage
Only covering full-time employees
Making verbal agreements with employees
Only covering physical labor jobs

The correct answer is: Securing the appropriate insurance coverage

Securing the appropriate insurance coverage is essential for a contractor to be compliant with Workers' Compensation regulations. This coverage serves as a crucial safety net for employees in case of work-related injuries or illnesses, ensuring that they receive necessary medical treatment and compensation for lost wages. It helps protect both the employer and the employees by providing financial support in such circumstances, thereby reducing legal liabilities. In contrast, limiting coverage to only full-time employees does not fulfill compliance requirements, as many jurisdictions mandate coverage for part-time workers as well. Verbal agreements with employees are insufficient for establishing clear contractual obligations related to Workers' Compensation, which need to be documented formally. Finally, restricting coverage to only physical labor jobs overlooks the regulatory responsibilities associated with other types of employees who may also be entitled to protection under Workers' Compensation laws.
