If he is a sub-contractor, probably not. If he is an employee, yes. Just in case, check with local employment laws. If he is working as a supervisor for your Co, supervising other subcontractors, it may well be hard to claim him as an independent contractor. Most states (and almost certainly the Feds), would find he is an employee in your control and not an independent sub contractor. (Another indicator - if he worked for you long enough and you fired him would he expect/try to claim unemployment comp?) Hence, he would be subject to WC (and the plethora of employee withholdings). WC most likely at the highest job class for which he is exposed to the risk of. So, if he's climbing on roofs, off the ground, going into ditches, etc. even occasionally, that would be his rate class. I know - sorry -

∙ 15y agoContact your state - but if you're exempt that doesn't mean you should forgo coverage. Maybe you want lifetime medical benefits due to a work related injury - maybe you sometimes use subcontractors - talk with your insurance agent first, and if you opt to take the exemption, do so legally. And some of your clients may require you to carry this coverage even if the state says you're exempt - and 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.

If there are no employees in the business, there is no need for workers compensation. However, handymen, landscapers and other part time contractors may be considered employees and need to be covered.
