Which of the following can elect to be covered for workers’ compensation coverage in Minnesota?

The correct answer is that a part-time fast food employee can elect to be covered for workers' compensation coverage in Minnesota. In general, employees are covered under Minnesota workers' compensation law from their first day of employment, and this includes part-time workers. The coverage is designed to protect employees in the event of work-related injuries or illnesses, regardless of their hours or employment status as part-time.

In Minnesota, while certain business entities like partnerships and corporations have specific workers' compensation coverage requirements and can have different eligibility criteria, individual employees, including part-time workers, are automatically entitled to coverage under the workers' compensation system. This ensures that even those in part-time positions have access to important protections related to workplace injuries.

Other entities mentioned, such as partnerships owning a business or a family farm corporation, may have different rules concerning who can elect coverage, often tied to the roles within the business. For example, owners or partners in a partnership generally have the option to elect for coverage but may not be automatically covered. Similarly, in a family farm corporation, specific executive officers can choose to be covered, but this is not automatically extended to all employees or partners.
