Question: I?m self-employed in a small business with 4 employees. My wife helps out with my business from time to time but she only works a few hours a week. My friend told me that I still need to include her as an ?employee? when I submit my application for workers compensation insurance. Is that accurate?
Answer: Pennsylvania?law?requires that?you?cover any employee under your workers compensation insurance policy, regardless of the number of hours they work per week ? even if that person is?your spouse or child. It?s better to be safe than sorry. Explain the situation to your workers comp insurance carrier and include your wife in your policy.
