In the state of Georgia, all employers with three or more regular workers must carry workers’ compensation insurance.
Full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees qualify for these insurance benefits if they suffer a work injury while performing work-related responsibilities.
Traveling employees also tend to qualify for benefits, while independent contractors do not. Employees for federal government agencies, farm laborers, domestic servants, and railroad carriers are also not eligible for workers’ comp benefits in the state of Georgia.
