Indiana Workers Working In Other States; Other States Workers Working In Indiana, Extraterritorial, Reciprocity and Non-Compliance:  If Indiana workers are working temporarily in another state, then workers compensation coverage for that worker is governed by the extraterritorial provisions found in Indiana statutes. When allowed, extraterritorial provisions allow benefits for an injured worker to apply as if the worker was in their primary state. Not all states provide Extraterritorial Provisions. It's reciprocity that governs coverage for a worker from another state who is working temporarily in Indiana. Compliance of workers compensation laws varies from state to state and it is important for an employer with workers performing duties in other states to be aware of the specific state rules that govern their coverage. We've provided the below general information about extraterritorial and reciprocity as a basic guide. Please be sure to contact your state authority with your specific questions concerning this topic!
