Out of State Workers' Compensation Insurance Overview
Oregon state government employees who work out of state will have workers compensation insurance available to them. Workers compensation insurance provides coverage for work related injuries and illness that may occur. Coverage for employees will be available while performing duties within the scope of their employment. Benefits may vary. Remote work is not allowed in U.S. Territories or in foreign countries.
There is not a need for requesting out of state workers' compensation when:
- Traveling out of state to a conference, business meeting or training that is less than 30 days in duration. For example, traveling to California for a week-long business conference.
- An employee is working out of state from an alternate workplace for less than 30 days in duration. For example, working from Vancouver, WA on a snow day or taking leave to attend a family event or to take care of an ill family member with the intent to work at times.
Request out of state workers' compensation when:
- Employees work out of state for periods of time longer than 30 days.
- Workers are hired to work in a state other than Oregon.
- A worker lives in another state and works from home for part of their work week.
- If there are questions, uncertainties or potential for higher risk to the employee.
