9358. COMMISSIONERS OF THE STATE INSURANCE FUND, plf-res, v. PRIVATE ONE OF NEW YORK, LLC, d/b/a, NEW YORK AIRPORT SERVICE, def-ap — Goldberg & Rimberg, PLLC, New York (Alexander Markus of counsel), for ap — Michael Miliano, Deputy General Attorney, New York (Isaac N. Guy Okafor of counsel), for res — Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Eileen A. Rakower, J.), entered September 1, 2011, which granted plaintiff Commissioner of the State Insurance Fund of New York’s motion for summary judgment in its action to recover $453,358.95 in workers’ compensation policy premiums due to the State Insurance Fund (SIF) with statutory interest from November 30, 2008, and denied defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The motion court correctly determined that defendant owes workers’ compensation premiums to SIF for its employees that were leased from employee leasing companies. Under the Rules set forth in the Workers’ Compensation Rating Manual, defendant could have ensured that its leased employees were covered by workers’ compensation policies by obtaining the coverage directly or by having the employee leasing company obtain a separate policy naming defendant as an additional insured. Since there is no evidence in the record of the latter, SIF properly concluded that defendant was providing the workers’ compensation coverage itself and was responsible for paying the premiums.
