When is workers compensation insurance required in Kansas? 

Kansas requires non-agricultural employers with more than $20,000 in gross annual payroll to secure workers compensation coverage. Kansas is the only state that uses a payroll threshold instead of an employee count. Exceptions apply for agricultural employment, family wages, and certain subcontractor situations.
