(7,280 posts)My husband owned a business until like 2004 (I mean for many years he went into business in 1987)
I am trying to recall what the deal was with workers comp insurance and how the premiums were assessed.
We had mostly full time people that obviously we carried it for, in case they were injured on the job (it's the law) but it seems to me there was something different about the part time laws for workers comp (I may be totally wrong)
I would have to look this up because my memory is hazy. Maybe we paid premiums on everyone, I just don't remember.
We only had one part time employee who was a HS kid who came in for a couple of hours after school each day to help clean.
With all that said, we paid for our employees health insurance and we were a very small company (like 6 employees)
A Republican would probably counter with we were stupid and that's why we went out of business (NOT)
We went out of business because the economy went to hell (under BUSH) earlier than it did around the rest of the country!
