How many employees must a business have to be required to obtain workers' compensation?

  1. 1 or more

  2. 5 or more

  3. 10 or more

  4. 20 or more

The correct answer is: 1 or more

In Arizona, the requirement for a business to obtain workers' compensation insurance applies when the business has just one or more employees. This means that even a sole proprietor who hires one employee is required by law to secure workers' compensation coverage. This is designed to protect the worker in case of any job-related injuries or illnesses, ensuring they have access to necessary medical treatment and compensation while they recover. The other options suggest varying thresholds of employees, which do not align with the state's requirements. In Arizona, there is no minimum number beyond one that exempts a business from obtaining workers' compensation insurance, making it crucial for even the smallest business operations to comply with this regulation. This law helps provide fair protection for all employees, regardless of the size of the business.
