It appears in Nevada from what I can figure is that for workmans comp requirements you are considered an employee even if you are an independent contractor. Our associations have us fill out an independent contractor contract with the association but the schools in turn pay into the workmans comp fund for officials. One of the future debates around here is the cost of this insurance and fee increases.

Independant Contrator status has more to do with the Federal Government and your tax situation and Workmans Comp is an insurance distiction which all states are different. I am not a lawyer and I really do not know how the exactly commingle with each other, but I am sure Nevada might have a different law that these things would not cancel each other out. But what else does Nevada have that the rest of the country does not?
