Are Volunteers covered by Workers' Comp?
In California, are Volunteers covered under Workers' Comp? Labor Code ยง 3351 indicates volunteers for non profits companies ARE covered, but where is the code for For Profit companies?
Answer:
Typcially no.... however that said, most companies do/have to cover a liablitly insurance for said volunteers.
I worked for a non-profit, we had to carry insurance in case something happened to one of our volunteers while volunteering.
Check with the companies insurance policy. They will give you the information. Good luck and I hope you are ok.
