If a PPO's employee is injured on the job without Workers Compensation Insurance, what could happen to the PPO's license?

If a Private Patrol Operator (PPO) does not have Workers' Compensation Insurance and an employee is injured on the job, this could lead to serious consequences for the PPO's license. Specifically, the absence of appropriate insurance coverage is a violation of California law, which mandates that employers provide Workers' Compensation coverage to their employees. This legal obligation is in place to ensure that employees who are injured while performing their job duties receive the necessary medical care and wage replacement.

When a PPO fails to comply with this requirement and an injury occurs, it raises red flags about the PPO's compliance with regulatory standards. Regulatory authorities have the power to enforce licensing laws strictly. Consequently, the PPO's license can be revoked as a disciplinary measure for non-compliance with the laws governing the private security industry. Losing the license would mean that the PPO would no longer be authorized to operate, which underscores the critical importance of maintaining proper insurance coverage to protect both employees and the business itself. This emphasizes the relationship between regulatory compliance and the ongoing validity of the PPO's operations in the industry.
