It's not safe to assume so - and rules vary by state. Negotiate this with your clients, and I think the best bet is to carry your own coverage.

When an employee is out on workmens compensation does it count against their FMLA too?

It is my understanding that these are two entirely separate programs, designed for different circumstances and differing conditions. Just as a leave of absence under the FMLA provisions do not in any way interfere with those circumstances adjusted and covered by workman's compensation, the workman's compensation program and provisions do not in any way coincide with or tend to alter the guarantees or terms under FMLA. Those things covered under the Family Medical Leave Act are governed solely by that set of rules. Those things covered under Workman's Compensation are regulated by the rules governing that program. The two are entirely separate...

In Pennsylvania does an owner operator with no employees need worker's comp insurance?

If there are no employees in the business, there is no need for workers compensation. However, handymen, landscapers and other part time contractors may be considered employees and need to be covered. The defining factors between an independent contractors (do not need to be covered under workers compensation) and employees (do need to be covered under workers compensation), has a lot to do with them having a contractors license, insurance, workers compensation for their employees, etc. If you are unsure, it is best to disclose the possible employees to the insurance company and let them decide if they need to be included or not.
