Contractors:  Those who perform different work from a client, who are not supervised by the client are considered independent contractors and not employees.

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.
