This is not a policy of workers’ compensation insurance. The employer does not become a subscriber to the Workers’ Compensation System by purchasing this policy, and if the employer is a non-subscriber, the employer loses those benefits that would otherwise accrue under the Workers’ Compensation Laws. The employer must comply with the Workers’ Compensation Law as it pertains to the non-subscribers and the required notifications that must be filed and posted.
