All of the following are excluded from the Workers' Compensation Law, except:

The inclusion of part-time employees under Workers' Compensation Law is essential because these workers are often at risk while performing their job duties and deserve protection in case of workplace injuries. Unlike independent contractors, who typically operate without the employer-employee relationship and thus do not qualify for Workers' Compensation, part-time employees are usually considered employees of the business and are entitled to benefits under the law. This ensures that all employees, regardless of their hours worked, have access to necessary medical treatment and compensatory benefits should they suffer a work-related injury or illness.

In contrast, full-time employees are generally covered under the law; independent contractors are excluded due to the nature of their work arrangement; and domestic workers have varying degrees of coverage based on specific state laws and provisions, making their status less consistent. Thus, recognizing part-time employees under the Workers' Compensation Law is crucial for providing them with the same protection afforded to their full-time counterparts.
