Independent Contractor Status

[Rick Vietti]

Does your local associations consider you an independent contractor?

Does your local schools or associations cover you for workmans compensation?

Where I live in Nevada the associations consider us independent contractors but the schools pay into a workmans comp fund as part of the agreement with the association. So if I get hurt doing a high school or MS game, I can get workmans comp coverage.

How do some of the other states handle the workmans comp issue and officials as independent contractors?
