Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system of benefits provided by states to most workers who have job-related injuries. If your company has employees, you are required by Alaska law to buy workers’ compensation insurance.
However, todays technologies allow employees to work from home, and this creates unique workers’ compensation risks for businesses. If you have telecommuting employees, you will need to make sure they are covered under your businesses workers’ compensation insurance.
