Kansas - Affidavit of Exempt Status - HB 2134

Effective 05-15-2011, Kansas passed a workers compensation bill that allows individuals who may be expemt from the workers compensation act to provide others they may work for with an Affidavit of Exempt Status. This affidavit, when properly executed and in the posession of the receiving party, relieves the receiving party from any workers compensation claims made by the individual providing the affidavit. It's a great step forward in clearifying some muddy water when it comes to hiring independent contractors. You can read more about this topic on our website on the Kansas State Rules pages. Hope this helps you out!
