Arkansas State Insurance Commissioner Mike Pickens issued a Cease and Desist Order to AMS Staff Leasing NA Inc., a company that the
insurance department alleges had been illegally offering workers’ compensation insurance in the state. The department also charged AMS Staff Leasing, based in Dallas, and its president Charles D. Wood, Jr. with operating as an employee leasing firm in Arkansas without first obtaining the appropriate license. It accused the company of falsely claiming it secured workers’ compensation insurance and then offering workers’ comp coverage to Arkansas employers. The order requires AMS and its president to immediately stop marketing unregistered, illegal or unlicensed plans in the state. AMS was directed to notify its clients, and all of its affiliates of the order to cease and desist writing any business in Arkansas. The insurance department is also making efforts to notify the company’s clients that they do not have insurance coverage.
