Does workers’ compensation apply to my job?

The majority of jurisdictions provide no exemptions to the application of workers’ compensation statutes, so long as there is an employer/employee relationship.  In a minority of jurisdictions an employer is exempt from having to carry workers’ compensation insurance if they employ under a certain number of employees, or other special exemptions exist within the jurisdiction.  Additionally, if an employee contracts with an employer to enter into a relationship that is designated as an independent contractor relationship or partnership, workers’ compensation statutes may not apply.
