Virginia State Regulations
In Virginia, all employers with three or more employees are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. This includes part-time, seasonal, and temporary workers. This coverage can be obtained through a private insurer or by qualifying for self-insurance if the employer meets specific criteria. Sole proprietors, partners, corporate officers, and LLC members are generally excluded from mandatory coverage but have the option to opt-in if they choose. Virginia’s system ensures that injured workers receive necessary medical care, wage replacement, and rehabilitation services. The Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission oversees compliance, enforcing regulations and imposing penalties on employers who fail to provide the required coverage, thereby safeguarding workers’ rights and benefits.
