FUTA taxes are paid to the Internal Revenue Service. All Indiana employers must obtain worker's compensation from a private insurance carrier. If an injury to an employee occurs and results in more than one day away from work, the employer must file an Employer's Report to Industrial Board of Injury to Employee. Independent contractors are required to file an affidavit annually with the Worker's Compensation Board. There are general industry standards that apply to any employer.
Some specific industries have their own standards as well.
Additionally, employees may not suffer dismissal or discrimination for making known a concern about workplace health or safety. This is most effectively accomplished through on-site consultative visits, which are free and available to any business upon written request. The on-site consultation program assists employers in identifying and correcting safety and health hazards under a protective abatement program. BuSET offers technical assistance, recommendations for reducing or eliminating existing hazards and assessment of employer's safety and health programs. The Indiana Department of Labor's Bureau of Child Labor enforces the Indiana child labor laws, which apply to minors ages 14 through 17 years.
