Working from Home: Insurance Considerations
If any of your employees work remotely, there are numerous insurance considerations you will need to take into account, including:
Injury to an employee:

Thus, you need to ensure that staff members are covered under your workers’ compensation insurance if they sustain a physical or psychological injury while working from home.
