(2)If the members of a multi-member limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a corporation are two or more individuals, they shall be considered to be in covered employment with the limited liability company if they receive remuneration for services rendered to the limited liability company, or render services to the limited liability company in anticipation of receiving remuneration.
