Which Alaska employers must obtain workers’ compensation insurance?
The Alaska Division of Workers’ Compensation states that the Alaska Workers’ Compensation Act requires each employer having one or more employees in Alaska to obtain workers’ compensation insurance, unless the employer has been approved as a self-insurer. One employee is the trigger, and self-insurance is an approval, not an election.
