Which of the following is entitled to Workers' Compensation benefits?

Workers' Compensation benefits are designed to provide financial support for employees who are injured on the job, irrespective of the number of hours worked, as long as they are classified as employees under the law. In the context of summer-time, part-time employment at a gas station, the individual is still considered an employee and is therefore entitled to Workers' Compensation benefits if they sustain a work-related injury. This coverage applies regardless of whether the employment is full-time or part-time and is fundamental to protecting workers' rights.

In Hawaii, certain categories of workers may not qualify for these benefits, which is why the other options do not meet the criteria for entitlement. For instance, licensed ministers, rabbis, and priests may not be covered depending on their employment status and whether they receive wages in a traditional sense. Similarly, individuals providing household services for less than a specified amount and those who work in exchange for food or lodging do not typically meet the employee definition necessary to qualify for Workers' Compensation. Those working as independent contractors or informal arrangements are generally excluded from these benefits.
