However, certain full-time life insurance sales agents may be treated as statutory employees for employment tax purposes (See: IRS Publication 15-A).

WoodmenLife is committed to excellence in diversity by creating an inclusive work environment that values and respects all individuals. This commitment includes providing equal opportunity in recruitment, advancement opportunities, training and community outreach. WoodmenLife is also dedicated to strengthening the communities in which its representatives live.
