HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE
An operational scenario
A maintenance employee also performs mobile work, while flight crew travel outside the home state. A payroll description that reflects only the headquarters location can miss material underwriting information.
Illustrative example only; this is not a Montridge client or reported claim.
The insurance distinction
Workers compensation obligations arise under applicable law; aircraft liability is a different coverage. Employers liability, employee exclusions in other policies and any special jurisdictional issue require coordinated review.
What to examine
Provide duties, payroll by applicable jurisdiction, travel, crew arrangements and subcontractor use. Verify classifications and legal obligations with the appropriate authority and insurer instead of assigning a universal aviation code.
Evidence to gather
- Payroll and duties by location
- Employee and contractor arrangements
- Travel and crew schedules
- Loss runs and current policy classifications
Questions for your review
- Where do employees work and travel?
- Who employs contracted crew or instructors?
- Are all ground and flight duties disclosed?
References and review status
- US Department of Labor state workers compensation contacts
No state-specific obligations or classification codes asserted
