Do I need workers’ compensation for one part-time employee in Vermont? 

Yes. Vermont’s requirement starts with your first employee and includes part-time workers. Sole proprietors, partners, LLC members, and corporate officers can exclude themselves, some with Department of Labor approval. Going without coverage risks daily penalties, stop-work orders, and personal exposure to injury costs.
