Under Arizona workers compensation law, which of the following employees would be exempt from coverage requirements?
Correct Answer
B) A casual employee working less than 5 days
Arizona workers compensation law exempts casual employees who work less than 5 days for the same employer.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Arizona workers' compensation law (A.R.S. § 23-901) exempts casual employees — those who work fewer than 5 days for the same employer. Because their engagement is so limited, the legislature determined mandatory coverage was not warranted for this narrow class.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: A full-time carpenter employee
A full-time carpenter is a regular employee who is squarely covered by Arizona workers' compensation requirements. Full-time status places them well within coverage mandates.
Option C: A project manager working 40 hours per week
A project manager working 40 hours per week is a full-time employee and must be covered under Arizona workers' compensation law, regardless of their administrative or supervisory role.
Option D: A part-time administrative assistant
A part-time administrative assistant is still an employee of the company and does not meet the casual employee threshold unless they also work fewer than 5 days total. Part-time status alone does not exempt an employee from coverage.
Memory Technique
The 'Five-Day Rule': fewer than 5 days = casual = exempt. Think of a one-time odd job — if you work less than a week, you're in the casual zone.
