What is the rule about paying workers’ compensation benefits when an employee has multiple employers?
What will be an ideal response?
If the new employer has the power to hire and fire and also pays the employee’s wages, then for workers’ compensation purposes this is the employer and it will be this employer’s insurance company that will have to pay a workers’ compensation claim. However, if it turns out that the employee is still paid by his original employer and his original employer retains the right to fire him or her, then the original employer is responsible for any workers’ compensation claim. If there is a blurring of distinction on these two points: who has the right to fire the employee and who is actually paying employee, then the employee may be able to bring a workers’ compensation claim against both of them.
