This is really a question to take up with your insurance broker, more than anyone else. If you only have hired workers for a short period, you may be able to get a policy for less than a full year. Even if it is for a full year, the premium should reflect the actual hiring pattern you have.
These areas of the law vary from one state to the next, and the details of your situation might make a difference. For firm advice, you should talk to an attorney in your area, and one place to find a lawyer is our website, http://attorneypages.com
