New York Imposing New WC Requirement On Out-Of-State Employers

Under new regulations set to take effect on September 9, 2007, out-of-state employers who have workers in New York State will have to make sure they have valid New York coverage, either through a separate policy for New York or by making sure New York is added to their multi-state policy in section 3.a of the policy.

New York doesn't hesitate to apply significant fines for companies that they feel don't comply with these provisions, so if your company has workers who occasionally work in the state of New York, you will want to make sure you are in compliance with the new regulations.
