As an example: in Washington state, a sole proprietor contractor is required to have worker's compensation on his siblings if they work for him as employees; they are not required to have it if they are independent contractors themselves and subcontract to the contractor sibling. If the contractor is a corporation, worker's compensation is not necessary if the siblings are established as officers of the corporation; otherwise, if employees, it is required.
These are the laws as applicable to the state of Washington; these may vary from state to state.

You are hiring a carpenter for a house remodel Do you need to get workmans comp insurance?
You should hire a licensed contractor. He should already have liability insurance and workmen's comp for his employees. If you do not hire a properly licensed contractor, all the liability for anything tha might go wrong falls on you. If your insurance company discovers that you hired an unlicensed contractor, they could, and probably will, deny payment on any claims you may file. Tread cautiously!

Does a driver who owns his dump truck have to buy workmans comp or allow the contractor to take it out of his pay?
Workman's Comp is for employees. If you are the owner and operator, you need standard health insurance. Health insurance won't pay for your lost wages, won't pay survivor benefits, and if you receive a serious injury, who will pay for your health insurance? Comp has lifetime medical benefits for injuries, and it doesn't depend on future premiums. A less expensive option is Occupational Accident and Contingent Liability - they aren't the same as Comp, but they can meet your needs. Talk to your independent insurance agent and your (General) Contractor. Also, many states are "ladder states," meaning liability goes up the ladder until someone can pay, so your (General) Contractor is probably right in requiring you to either have Comp or take it out of your pay so he can carry it for you. Some states REQUIRE him to do this.
