What is a Deemed Worker?
It’s Complicated!
A Deemed Worker is an individual who is “deemed to be a worker” for Workers Compensation purposes. This will include Full-Time, Part-Time and Casuals employees in your business. This will include Working Directors in your business, and in some situation's Independent Contractors.
When renewing your icare Workers Insurance Policy it is the obligation of the employer to include all relevant Deemed Worker remuneration a business has paid when declaring its Actual Wages.
Using a specialist like Employers Comp will assist you in ensuring you declaring your Wages accurately and on time to ensure you comply with your icare Workers Compensation Insurance obligations.

Is a Sole Trader a Deemed Worker?
It’s Complicated!
If you are a Sole Trader, operating under your own ABN, and don't employ any other workers under your ABN you are exempt from an icare Workers Compensation Policy.
If you employ workers in your business under your ABN you may then be required to take out a policy to cover those workers.
You may also become a deemed worker under your Primary contractor's icare Workers Compensation policy.
Each situation is independent and requires its own review on its own merits. Reach out to the team at Employers Comp if you need help.
