One insurance agent said volunteers don't have to be covered by Workmen's Compensation, that is up to the company/entity's discretion. Another agent said if you want to acquire Workers Compensation for volunteers then write down in the application how many hours will they work and the amount you would pay them. Hope that works. :)
Addition - if you do not extend WC to volunteers, you remain responsible for their workplace injuries and damages lawsuits.
