Special Notes: LLC Members - Whether workers’ compensation insurance coverage is required for its member-employees depends on how the business has elected to file its taxes. If the L.L.C. or the L.L.P. elects to file IRS Form 8832 choosing to be taxed as a corporation (Form 8832, line 2(a) or 2(d)), then the Industrial Commission will deem the business as being a corporation for workers’ compensation purposes, and it must therefore carry workers’ compensation insurance on its member-employees. On the other hand, if the business has not elected to be taxed as a corporation, the L.L.C. or the L.L.P. will be treated as a partnership for its member-employees, or in the instance of a one-member L.L.C., as a sole proprietorship, and will not be required to carry workers’ compensation insurance on its member-employees.

Arizona Workers Compensation Subrogation Statute

Arizonz Workers In Other States; Other States Workers In Arizona; Extraterritorial; Reciprocity; Non-Compliance: When an Arizona worker is working temporarily in another state, workers compensation coverage for that worker is governed by the extraterritorial provisions found in Arizona 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.

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.
