Limited partner
A partner whose partnership-law role is limited; workers' compensation owner treatment must be checked under the specific state's statute and the partner's actual work.
Workers' compensation statutes do not always treat “partner” as one undifferentiated category. A state's automatic owner exclusion may refer to general partners, all partners, working partners, or another defined group, so a rule written only for general partners does not automatically extend to limited partners.
Pennsylvania, for example, expressly lists sole proprietors and general partners in its published exclusion categories. That wording is a reason to verify the rule before extending the same result to a limited partner. If the person performs services, employee-status and elective-coverage provisions may also matter.
Where this definition comes from
Glossary entries are anchored to a state agency, statute, board, commission, or recognized workers' compensation authority rather than a generalized summary.
