If you’re relocating your business to a new state, it can give you a completely new market to target. Yet, it can also be a rather intricate task. Whether it’s a sole proprietorship, a Limited Liability Company (LLC), or a corporation, each business structure presents its unique set of challenges and considerations during relocation.
Understanding these nuances is essential for a seamless transition, ensuring that your business complies with new regulations and thrives in its new environment.
Workers’ compensation is a federal requirement for most employers. Most small to mid-sized companies (SMBs) must obtain worker’s compensation insurance, make regular contributions, and maintain a safe work environment for their employees.
Here’s what SMBs need to know about workers’ compensation requirements and how Mosey can help with state compliance.
What Is Workers’ Compensation? Workers’ compensation is a type of insurance that provides medical benefits and wage replacement to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses.
When it comes to classifying workers, there’s more than meets the eye. Beyond the familiar categories of employees and independent contractors, there’s a third type you need to know: statutory employees.
These workers are unique because they’re technically considered independent contractors, but certain laws require you to treat them as employees for tax purposes. Understanding who qualifies as a statutory employee is essential for maintaining compliance and avoiding legal headaches.
