Employers: Uninsured Employers

Horizon Custom Homes v. UEF [02/14/07] 2007 MTWCC 8 Statutorily-defined uninsured employers and employers who do not fall into this category are not similarly situated because one class of employers has met its statutory obligation to provide workers’ compensation coverage while the other has not. By not obtaining coverage, uninsured employers place themselves in a separate class, and their injured workers are compensated by the “safety net” of the UEF.
