Even if your state provides an exemption from this, isn't he one of the people you want to protect more than anyone? Doesn't he expect you to take care of him as an employer? Workers' Comp pays lifetime medical for work-related injuries, and can retrain a worker who can't perform his old job any more due to a work-related injury. Even if you provide or he has health insurance, who will pay those premiums if he can't work? Please carry Comp.

∙ 15y agoContact your state - but if you're exempt from having to have insurance that doesn't mean you should forgo coverage. Even if you have health insurance, who will pay for that if you're seriously injured & can't work? Comp offers lifetime medical benefits due to a work related injury. Maybe you sometimes use subcontractors too, 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. Also, 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 because you provide your own insurance.

as a subcontractor can the person i sub from deduct money from my last check for workers comp?
If you are paid a wage or a salary for temporary work, the employer must deduct ALL taxes, social security and workers comp. If you are a subcontractor paid on a 1099, (which means YOU will pay all the taxes, etc) then no deductions are taken from your compensation. So it depends on the agreement you have with the contractor. He cannot, however, just take out workers comp and nothing else.

Would a General Contractor need to have Workman's Compensation insurance in California?
If you have employees, even day labor guys, you MUST carry workers compensation insurance for them. If you have no employees you simply file your workers compensation exemption form with the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). They will note your license as exempt from having workers compensation insurance and that you certify that you have no employees. Even if you file an exemption, your customer/client can require that you carry workers compensation insurance if you agree to do so in a contract.
Are taxes taken out of worker's compensation checks?
Amounts you receive as workers' compensation for an occupational sickness or injury are fully exempt from tax if they are paid under a workers' compensation act or a statute in the nature of a workers' compensation act. The exemption also applies to your survivors. The exemption, however, does not apply to retirement plan benefits you receive based on your age, length of service or prior contributions to the plan, even if you retired because of an occupational sickness or injury.

Do I need Workman's Insurance if I am Incorporated in Georgia?
Yes, though the state provides an exemption if you only have a couple of employees you should carry it because you remain liable and would have to pay out of pocket if there's a claim - and by having Workers' Compensation coverage you prevent your workers from suing you in most cases. Exercise the exemption if you choose to take it according to the law - contact your state for instructions, don't just fail to carry coverage.
