Workers Compensation Insurance and Reserves Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 5 - Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Reserves Beginning in March 2014, Legacy HQ obtained its workers’ compensation insurance through Chubb Limited and ACE American Insurance Company (collectively, “ACE”), in all states in which it operated, other than monopolistic jurisdictions. The ACE policy was a high deductible policy pursuant to which Legacy HQ had primary responsibility for all claims with ACE providing insurance for covered losses and expenses in excess of $500 thousand per incident. In addition to the ACE policy, Legacy HQ purchased a deductible reimbursement insurance policy from Hirequest Insurance Company (“HQ Ins.”), a captive insurer, to cover losses up to the $500 thousand deductible with ACE. This resulted in Legacy HQ effectively being fully insured during this time period. Effective July 15, 2019, Legacy HQ terminated its deductible reimbursement policy with HQ Ins. We assumed the primary responsibility for all claims up to the deductible occurring on or after July 15, 2019. The primary responsibility for all claims occurring before July 15, 2019 remains with HQ Ins. Command Center, the predecessor entity that acquired Legacy HQ in 2019, also obtained its workers’ compensation insurance through ACE. Pursuant to Command Center’s most recent policy, which expired on March 1, 2020, ACE provided insurance for covered losses and expenses in excess of $500 thousand per incident. Command Center’s ACE policy included a one-time obligation for the Company to pay any single claim filed under the Command Center policy within a policy year that exceeds $500 thousand (if any), but only up to $750 thousand for that claim. All other claims within the policy year were subject to the $500 thousand deductible. Effective July 15, 2019, in connection with the Merger, we assumed all of the workers’ compensation claims of Command Center. We also assumed Command Center’s workers’ compensation policy with ACE. Under these high deductible programs, we are effectively self-insured. Per our contractual agreements with ACE, we must provide collateral deposits of approximately $10.7 million, which we accomplished by providing a letter of credit under our agreement with Truist. For workers’ compensation claims originating in the monopolistic jurisdictions of North Dakota, Ohio, Washington, and Wyoming, we pay workers’ compensation insurance premiums and obtain full coverage under mandatory state administered programs. Our liability associated with claims in these jurisdictions is limited to premium payments based upon the amount of payroll paid within each jurisdiction. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements reflect only the mandated workers’ compensation insurance premium liability for workers’ compensation claims in these jurisdictions.
