If you are a sole proprietor or an officer of your corporation, you are exempt from workers comp insurance. Yes, Oregon does require you to provide it for your employees, but not for yourself. Often business owners are unaware of this. Recently I started up with a new client and discovered this error. After contacting the insurance company, the owner was refunded over $1,000.00 in over-payments made in the past 3-years!
