North Carolina law generally requires employers with three or more workers to carry workers’ compensation coverage. Executive officers usually count as employees unless they have been properly excluded from the corporation’s workers’ compensation policy.
Some coverage rules also apply in special situations, including certain contractor, subcontractor, trucking, and radiation-related work settings, even when the usual employee threshold does not apply.
