What must an employer do to provide WC Coverage for an employee temporarily working in another state?

An employer providing Workers' Compensation (WC) coverage for an employee temporarily working in another state is primarily guided by the provisions of Minnesota statutes. Minnesota's WC laws maintain coverage for employees who are sent to work outside the state, as long as the employer is adequately insured in Minnesota and the scope of employment is aligned with the nature of work covered under Minnesota laws.

This means that while an employee may be working temporarily in another state, they remain covered under Minnesota's WC provisions, assuming the job falls within the defined scope of their employment as outlined in Minnesota statutes. This aspect is vital, as it ensures continuous protection for the employee without the need for extra steps or the complexities involved in obtaining separate coverage in another jurisdiction.

Options that mention notification requirements, separate policies, or stating that coverage is not possible do not accurately reflect the established premise under Minnesota law regarding WC coverage for employees working outside their home state temporarily.
