I am a sub contractor do i have to pay worker's compensation?
Workers Comp varies from state to state but in general, if you are an employer you must pay for Workers Comp for your employees. Most large contractors require their subs to show evidence of Workers Comp coverage. This is because the insurance companies will charge the GC if they can't show evidence of all workers being covered under other policies. So in general, yes, sub contractors have to pay for Workers Comp.
When does an employer have to have workman's comp in Texas?
Texas is the only voluntary Comp state. But employers and general contractors remain liable for the workers' injuries (including subcontractors who lack Workers' Comp coverage) and should opt out correctly - according to the state rules, filing their decision with the state and posting the proper notice to employees & subcontractors. Employers in all states need to realize they remain liable if they don't have coverage, and that their employees and their employees' families can sue them. An alternative to Workers Comp for subcontractors (and employees who opt out of Workers' Comp) is Occupational Accident - especially if paired with Contingent Liability (contractors only - not employees), it can be cheaper than Comp and can in many ways provide even better coverage. It's not the same, though, and the Occupational Accident and Contingent Liability policies need to be compared closely.

What states require employer to have workmans comp?
All states require employers to carry Workers' Comp or remain liabile to the workers themselves. Most states have exemptions for some employers, such as those with fewer than 5 employees, or employers whose sole workforce is comprised of partners in the company. Texas is the only state in which Workers' Comp is 100% voluntary, yet again, the employer remains liable to the worker and would have to pay out of pocket for claims. Further, by not carrying Workers' Compensation, the worker is free to sue the employer - something he's not able to do if the employer carries Workers' Comp unless the employer's guilty of GROSS negligence. See the attached link, "Should I Carry Workers' Compensation?" for additional information.

Does a company have to provide workman's comp for part time employees?
Depends on the state, total number of employees, etc. Even if the employer is exempt from the *requirement* to carry Comp, he remains liable to his employees. If your employer doesn't carry Comp, ask him to discuss it with his insurance agent, who can help him understand the costs of insurance versus the potential costs of being uninsured. There's a viable alternative in most states for independent contractors and those employers who are exempt from having to carry Comp: Occupational Accident coverage can be customized and often is less expensive than Comp. They aren't the same, though, and when used for independent contractors I personally feel it should always be paired with Contingent Liability. Does family workers have to have workers comp.?
