Arkansas Workers' Compensation Insurance

Your business must comply with the states where your employees perform work - not necessarily where the business was founded or is based. If your business operates in multiple states, or employees travel across state lines to work, you may need to modify your policy to guarantee coverage in the event of a claim.

You are required to carry workers' compensation insurance in Arkansas if:

• You have three or more employees working in Arkansas. 
• You’re going to work for someone else. Unless you’re an employee, you won’t be covered by their insurance policy and may need to provide proof of work comp. Are they an employee or an independent contractor? 10 ways to tell >> 

Other regulations that may affect you: 

• Workers' compensation insurance covers wage replacement and medical bills for employees injured on the job. To protect against other injuries at your place of business, you may need general liability insurance. Learn more about general liability >>
