If you’re expanding your business into Boise, ID, you’ll want to ensure you comply with local laws and requirements. Purchasing the proper forms of insurance isn’t just another expense; it’s a crucial way to protect your business and its assets if one or more of your workers is injured on the job.

What are the Requirements?

Most companies that hire workers in Boise, ID, will need to purchase worker’s compensation for these employees. This requirement even applies to employees who telecommute rather than come to your office. However, some employees are exempt from this requirement, including household domestic workers, casual workers, pilots who apply fertilizers or pesticides to crops, associate real estate brokers, volunteer ski patrollers, and officials involved in secondary school athletic contests.

If you intend to hire workers in Idaho for six months or less, you can get an extraterritorial certificate of coverage from your current commercial insurance provider. However, if you intend to hire workers for more than six months at a time, you’ll need to purchase insurance from an approved Idaho insurance company.
