Worker Compensation for telecommuters?

Are your employee’s that tele commute or have home offices subject to all the regulations, overtime, reimbursement and so on.? Are they eligible for Workers Compensation if they are working at home and trip over the dog and break their arm?  Or are they Independent Contractors and you are relieved of all those liabilities? See http://www.workerscompinsider.com/archives/000617.html on workers compensation and it’s associated links.  This is one blog I view every time it is updated for the fascinating information on workers compensation.
