EmploymentQuestion 1017 of 1605
An out-of-state contractor temporarily sends its own employees into California to perform work. Regarding workers' compensation, the contractor generally must:
a.Buy coverage only for the crew leader
b.Ensure its coverage extends to work performed in California, as California requires coverage for employees working in the state
c.Rely solely on its home-state policy with no California endorsement
d.Wait until an injury occurs before arranging coverage
Explanation
California requires workers' compensation coverage for employees working within the state. An out-of-state employer should confirm that its policy includes California (often via a California endorsement) or obtain California coverage; otherwise it risks being treated as illegally uninsured for injuries occurring here.
