Workers Compensation Insurance and Reserves Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 6 - Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Reserves Since July 15, 2019 we have obtained our workers’ compensation insurance through Chubb Limited and ACE American Insurance Company (collectively, “ACE”) in all states in which we operate other than monopolistic jurisdictions. The ACE policies are large deductible policies where we have primary responsibility for all claims made. ACE provides insurance for covered losses and expenses in excess of $500 thousand per incident. Under these large deductible programs we are largely self-insured. Per our contractual agreements with ACE we must provide a collateral deposit of $ 9.2 million, which we accomplish by providing a letter of credit under our agreement with Bank of America. 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, or hours worked, within each jurisdiction. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements reflect only the mandated workers’ compensation insurance premium liability for workers’ compensation claims in these jurisdictions. Prior to July 15, 2019, one of our predecessor entities ("Legacy HQ") also obtained its workers’ compensation insurance through ACE in all states in which it operated other than monopolistic jurisdictions. The ACE policy was a large 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.”), an independent captive insurer, to cover losses up to the $500 thousand deductible with ACE. This resulted in Legacy HQ effectively being fully insured until the merger with Command Center. Effective July 15, 2019, Legacy HQ terminated its deductible reimbursement policy 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 with Command Center, we assumed all of the workers’ compensation claims of Command Center.
