It matters if they are really "independent contractors". If you hire a window cleaner once in a while, you do not need workers comp coverage. If you hire a secretary once a while (like once a month, you don't need comp coverage. However, for a worker that you call an independent contractor who works pretty much exclusively for you, you'd better get comp coverage. William S. Stern
