Contact your state - but if you're exempt from having to have insurance that doesn't mean you should forgo coverage. You're likely still liable for your worker's work-related injuries. Maybe you want lifetime medical benefits due to a work related injury, and your state may be one that says you have to provide coverage for your subs who don't have it. Talk with your insurance agent first, and if you opt to take the exemption, do so legally. Some of your clients may require you to carry this coverage even if the state says you're exempt - you may be able to get higher pay from the General Contractor or client (REO department at the bank or mortgage company) because you provide your own insurance.

Workers compensation insurance requirements differ by state. Among the variables are the number of employees and the aggregate payroll. Under some circumstances, if an employees also hasan ownership or managerial role in the business, he/she may opt-out. One of the ways to handle workers compensation, especially for a small business, is through an employee leasing company, also known as a "professional employer organization". Through a legal fiction authorized by statute, the employees become the employees of that entity for purposes of obtaining workers compensation insurance. By aggregating the employees of many similar business and "delivering" them to a workers compensation insurer, sometimes economies of scale can be achieved such that lower workers compensation premiums can be obtained. The employees generally remain the common law employees of the original employer from the standpoint of discipline, hiring, firing, and other indicia of employment. That is, the employee leasing company provides mostly business services and may act as a conduit for insurance. A business must be very careful to research the bona fides of the employee leasing company that it considers using, and to get references. While many are just fine, in the past, the industry was a hotbed of insurance fraud, often placing employers with phony workers compensation insurers.
