Can part-time workers receive workers’ comp?
In most cases, yes. Workers’ compensation laws generally protect all employees, not just those working 40 hours a week. If a part-time employee is on payroll and gets hurt while doing their job, they’re likely entitled to workers’ comp benefits — even if they only work a few shifts a week.
