TECHNICALLY THIS IS NOT TRUE!!
The Definition of "Employer" for the purpose of workers Compensation found at 3300 of the Labor code is strictly limited to State agencies, and public corporations:
As used in this division, "employer" means:
(a) The State and every State agency.
(b) Each county, city, district, and all public and quasi public
corporations and public agencies therein.
(c) Every person including any public service corporation, which
has any natural person in service.
(d) The legal representative of any deceased employer.
(C) is the tricky one. The fact that there is no comma before "including" makes
this a restrictive clause.
Look at the other sections of the CA labor code and you will ALWAYS see a comma
before "including":
Cal Labor Code 1404
A person, including a local government or an employee representative, seeking to establish liability against an employer may bring a civil action on behalf of the person, other persons similarly situated, or both, in any court of competent jurisdiction. The court may award reasonable attorney's fees as part of costs to any plaintiff who prevails in a civil action brought under this chapter.
Cal Labor Code 350(b)
(b) "Employee" means every person, including aliens and minors, rendering actual service in any business for an employer, whether gratuitously or for wages or pay, whether the wages or pay are measured by the standard of time, piece, task, commission, or other method of calculation, and whether the service is rendered on a commission, concessionaire, or other basis.
Cal Labor Code 1160.6
…Upon the filing of any such petition, the board shall cause notice thereof to be served upon any person involved in the charge and such person, including the charging party, shall be given an opportunity to appear by counsel and present any relevant testimony.
Cal Labor Code 4907
The privilege of any person, including attorneys admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the state to appear in any proceeding as a representative of any party before the appeals board, or any of its referees, may, after a hearing, be removed, denied, or suspended by the appeals board for a violation of this chapter or for other good cause.
Cal Labor Code 1701
(b) "Audition" means any activity for the purpose of obtaining employment, compensated or not, as an artist whereby an artist meets with, interviews or performs before, or displays his or her talent before, any person, including a producer, a director, or a casting director, or an associate, representative, or designee of a producer, director, or casting director, who has, or is represented to have, input into the decision to select an artist for an employment opportunity. An "audition" may be in-person or through electronic means, live or recorded, and may include a performance or other display of the artist's promotional materials.
Cal Labor Code 1704
A person, including, an owner, officer, director, agent, or employee of a talent service, who willfully violates any provision of this chapter is guilty of a misdemeanor. Each violation is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year, by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment. However, payment of restitution to an artist shall take precedence over the payment of a fine. The purpose of this trick is that The State Cannot force a private employer into
obtaining an insurance program.
See what the State Style manual, A dictionary of Modern Legal Usage, and
many college style manuals have to say about commas:
Dict of Modern Legal Usage 766
"Restrictive clauses are essential to the grammatical and logical completeness of a sentence.
Nonrestrictive clauses, by contrast, are so loosely connected with the essential meaning of the sentence that they
might be omitted without changing the essential meaning.
King County Style Manual
"Including, such as. Use these terms when the items that follow are only part of the total; don't list everything or end the list with words like and more, and others, etc.
If the words that follow these terms are essential to the meaning of a sentence,
do not put commas before the phrase. But if the words that follow these terms are not essential, commas are appropriate. (Words are nonessential if they can be removed without changing the meaning of the sentence.)"
First, if you cannot omit the clause without changing the basic meaning, the clause is restrictive; use that without a comma. Second, if you can omit the clause without changing the basic meaning, the clause is non restrictive; use which after a comma."
Lastly:
Michigan State University Editorial Style Guide" states:
"Whether to use a comma before "including" depends on the intended meaning of the sentence. The presence of a comma makes the sentence nonrestrictive:
[example given] He managed a variety of projects, including joint, combined, and contingency exercises. (Projects may include joint, combined, or contingency exercises or some combination of the three.)
The absence of a comma makes the sentence restrictive:
[example given] He managed a variety of projects including joint, combined, and contingency exercises. (Every project must include joint, combined, and contingency exercises.)

How long to keep injury report and claims?
Hi,
It depends on the type of the injury and accident claim.
Lets say it was a simple car accident and your injury will last for a year. Your lawyer may need all documentation to help you claim the money form other party.
You may have 3 years in most cases to make a claim of the date of the accident.
But every case is different so please ask someone for legal advise.
If you asking on behalf of a company management you should ask an Health and Safety inspector and Insurance policy planners to help you with this question. In this case I may be 5 years.

What are the income requirements to be approved for Section 8?
The income requirements will vary based on where you live. Contact the local agency or agencies that administers the program. Usually there are additional requirements beyond just income. Examples are being disabled, homeless, spending more than 50% of income on housing. Those will vary also. There are usually long waiting lists for Section 8 vouchers, but you might be able to apply for the waiting list even if you do not meet the requirements at this time.
How do you determine subcontractor status versus vendor status?
There is not "one" single answer - there are variations based on regulatory requirements and state and/or federal contract provisions. It is extremely important to check your prime contract to determine if the prime contract defines subcontractors, vendors, or both. The Government Contracts Reference Book (Nash, Schooner, O'Brien) provides the following definitions: SUBCONTRACTOR: Any person or organization that furnishes supplies or services under a prime contract. VENDOR: A seller of goods. Those definitions aren't necessarily helpful in determining status. I've shepherded numerous clients through numerous government audits, and here's my best advice: A vendor provides off-the-shelf, commercially-available goods or services. The vendor will provide these same goods or services to anyone who pays the vendor. A subcontractor is a person or organization who assists in the prime contractor in performing programmatic functions. The subcontractor is somewhat of a "partner" for the prime contractor and provides goods or services specifically tailored to meet the programmatic needs of the prime contract.
I am a sub contractor do i have to pay worker's compensation?
Workers Comp varies from state to state but in general, if you are an employer you must pay for Workers Comp for your employees. Most large contractors require their subs to show evidence of Workers Comp coverage. This is because the insurance companies will charge the GC if they can't show evidence of all workers being covered under other policies. So in general, yes, sub contractors have to pay for Workers Comp.
Are taxes taken out of worker's compensation checks?
Amounts you receive as workers' compensation for an occupational sickness or injury are fully exempt from tax if they are paid under a workers' compensation act or a statute in the nature of a workers' compensation act. The exemption also applies to your survivors. The exemption, however, does not apply to retirement plan benefits you receive based on your age, length of service or prior contributions to the plan, even if you retired because of an occupational sickness or injury.
