By law, coverage is mandatory for all employers except: domestic or household employees where total payroll is less than $10,000 annually; agricultural or horticultural employees where total payroll is less than $100,000 annually; certain licensed real estate sales persons and brokers; and employees covered under Federal laws. Additional specific exemptions can be found in Sections 2.2 through 2.7 of Title 85 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Coverage for workers’ compensation can be obtained in three ways: by securing coverage from a private carrier licensed to provide workers’ compensation coverage in the state of Oklahoma; by securing coverage from CompSource Oklahoma; or by obtaining approval from the Court to self-insure against workers’ compensation liability.
