What can actually happen if someone doesn’t carry worker's compensation insurance? Most states require businesses to have some form of worker’s compensation insurance coverage. This has been complicated by recent legislation in California specifically, and now it’s being discussed on the federal level.  If a random sweep is conducted, and a business doesn’t have worker’s comp coverage upon inspection, they'll impose an immediate stop order, which means they can shut the business down until there’s a worker’s comp policy. No employee labor can continue until that company purchases a workers' compensation policy and has it in force. Find out what you can do to protect yourself in today’s episode.
