Principles of State Workers' Compensation Laws:

WC laws are based on the legal concept of employer liability without regard to fault (strict liabiltiy by statute). Workers give up their right to sue for damages, but employers take on the obligation to compensate workers' employment-related injuries as stipulated in each state's WC law. The five specific objectives of the WC system:

  1. prompt payment of adequate benefits to injured employees or their dependents,
  2. elimination of payment delays and litigation costs,
  3. guaranteed payment of benefits,
  4. promotion of industrial safety, and
  5. payment for medical care services.

 

The Internal Revenue Service

These are the 20 criteria used by the Internal Revenue Service to determine whether an individual should be treated as an Employee or an Independent Contractor. On the checklist below, affirmatives indicate Employee status, and negatives indicate Independent Contractor status. The IRS may not agree with evaluations based on this checklist. It may give overriding weight to one or two factors, tipping its evaluation in one direction.

This checklist will only give an indication of how the IRS would evaluate a situation. Before making a final determination, you should consult your accountant
